Worth it

Should I use Hackingcpp?

Learn Contemporary C++ | Concise & Visual - hackingcpp.com

· 6 days ago

A free, well-regarded C++ reference site — there is nothing to pay for, so 'buy' just means use it. Great visual supplement for learners and working C++ devs; not a structured course for absolute beginners.

Gotchas - check before you buy
