Roadmap for learning the C++ programming language for beginners and experienced devs.

Overview

C++ Developer Roadmap

Additional languages: Русский

C++ is still one of the most popular development languages. There are quite a number of people that want to start learning it and become a C++ developer. They face with the questions: "Where should I start? What and in what order should I study? What books should I read?"

We tried to answer these questions in the presented roadmap. The map focuses on general competencies and skills that could be found in most projects. It is designed to help those who are just starting their education or have little experience. You can create a more productive learning plan without being distracted by side information if you study the set of listed materials. It will help you to master C++ at the level that is used in many commercial projects.

Before you start exploring the map, it's recommended to read the articles listed below.

Articles

  1. Why and what for the roadmap has been created?
  2. Are you sure that you need C++?
  3. C++ - It's Not Rocket Science
  4. Application areas of C++
  5. Myths and Legends of C++
  6. Developers grading
  7. How to study?
  8. Books and other resources about C++
  9. Pet-project ideas
  10. Language toolkit
  11. More resources about C++: documentation, community links, etc.

    Roadmap engilsh spelling remarks

    There's some Russian characters after "choose one of the popular IDEs"

    • Occam is spelled with two 'C's, not two 'K's.
    • Uint tests should be unit tests.
    • Virualization -> virtualisation (whether you want * British or American English is up to you, but at least put the T there).

  • Which Stroustrup book(s) to avoid? Warning is ambiguous.

    Which Stroustrup book(s) to avoid? Warning is ambiguous.

    On Learn C++ using the book by Stroustrup

    Which states:

    Learn C++ using the book by Stroustrup A highly damaging thesis taking origin from the “Old Guard” or someone born with a keyboard in hand.

    Those who had extensive experience of development in other languages (C, Fortran, Delphi, etc.) and transitioned to C++ are most likely to give this piece of advice. Stroustrup wrote this book like a reference, therefore one needs to use it in the appropriate manner, which requires some knowledge of the language. Better look at the Books section, you’ll find books for any level of language proficiency.

    What book are you referring to? BS has authored several books in the past few years including:

    1. Programming -- Principles and Practice Using C++
    2. A Tour of C++
    3. The C++ Programming Language

  • Неопределённое поведение следует включить в первый этап вместе с отладкой

    Неопределённое поведение следует включить в первый этап вместе с отладкой

    С одной стороны, в первый этап включён отладчик:

    изображение

    С этим я согласен: надо уметь получать в итоге работающий код, а с первой попытки код работает редко. Отладчик очень сильно помогает.

    С другой стороны, неопределённое поведение возникает только на третьем этапе, уже даже после ООП, правила трёх/пяти, ссылок, сырых указателей, утечек памяти:

    изображение

    Мне кажется, про неопределённое поведение надо рассказывать сразу же, как обучающийся может написать программу с UB. В противном случае интуитивное ожидание от программы с ошибкой — "произойдёт что-то логичное". Компьютеры же детерминированы и логичны. Да и на JavaScript/Java/Python/HTML/практически любом другом языке программирования ошибочная программа может выдать неверный ответ, зависнуть, упасть с исключением, но в любом случае проблему можно будет логично отследить до точки возникновения, а в подавляющем большинстве случаев укажут на строчку, где ошибка возникла.

    В случае с C++ это категорически не так. Программа может падать, а отладчик может показывать на return 0; в main(), на int x = v.size(), на последнюю } в функции, на случайную } в программе после выхода за границу массива. Это всё сильно сбивают с толку обучающихся. К тому же фразы вроде "нельзя читать из неинициализированной переменной" даже при расскаже об UB первые несколько месяцев воспринимаются не как UB, а как "в неинициализированной переменной, очевидно, лежит просто какой-то случайный мусор". В частности, легко предположить, что если нам неважно, что там за мусор, то программа хотя бы не упадёт, но это неверно. Легко предположить, что если мы прочитали что-то за границей массива, то у нас либо прочитался мусор, либо всё сразу упало, а не упало через десять строк в вообще другой функции.

    И это всё не считая проблем, которые могут возникнуть при висячих ссылках, ручном управлении памятью, reinterpret_cast.

    Я предлагаю передвинуть неопределённое поведение в первый этап и считаю, что без этого отлаживать программы на C++ становится сильно сложнее. Необязательно его изучать досконально, но необходимо перестать считать, что "очевидно же, что выход за границы массива так не проявится". Например, вот здесь есть хорошее введение (исходник).
