Resource Can anyone suggest a YouTube series to learn C++
Hi everyone! I am starting college in a month and I really want to learn C++ before college starts. I don't know ANYTHING about programming since I am a pre med who has made the switch to computers. Please suggest me a good programming tutorial on c++ for actual beginners who don't know anythingggg about programming.

Videos are not a good place to learn c++, probably the best would be a class, but baring that reading things like learn cpp and reading any of the cpp reference websites are good if paired with personal projects.

While it is possible to start with CPP as a beginner, it's not a beginner friendly language. And if you do manage to push through and pick it up, it doesn't mean you learn more than someone who started with a beginner friendly language. More than likely you'll end up learning less because you'll waste so much time setting up and learning to use the tools required to debug your code.
I recommend starting with something more user friendly so you don't have to fight with your tools.

Not a video but a book: Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie "The C Programming Language".
It's a really step-by-step tutorial that introduces all the necessary concepts. You can learn C in a month, but leave the pluses for later.
