# Introduction to the Voyage

> Begin with the end in mind -**Dr. Stephen R. Covey**

Hi. I welcome you to this series where I will be documenting my journey learning one of my favourite programming languages i.e **C++.** Although I had studied C++ before in my classes 11 and 12 as a computer science student, I was not exposed to the world of creating projects, community contributions or any of it. We were just thought from the textbook and the lab sessions were done in TurboC++ 🤧.

As you can see the teaching pedagogy was outdated. It was only when I entered college that I realized tools such as VScode, Git and GitHub etc which make developer's work easy and efficient.

So, that is why **this series** will try to introduce beginners to efficient coding tools and the latest practices all the while learning the programming language C++.

I will be writing about basic to advanced C++ all the while building some cool projects to get hands-on learning. Topics including variables, data types, flow of control, pointers, and data structures will be written. I will be executing programs on each concept and everything related to this series will be shared in this [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/som-ansh/CPP_Scripts). Feel free to look into the repository and any contributions are welcome!

For my journey I will primarily use these textbooks and online resources :

*   **Computer Science with C++** by Sumita Arora, 9th edition (although outdated, its very beginner friendly)
    
*   **Object Oriented Programming with C++** by Reema Thareja, Revised first edition
    
*   Freecodecamp's Youtube Tutorials.
    

That is it for this article. I have kept a goal of 3 articles per week😎. I am so excited to share this journey with you and looking forward for your support. Let's Begin.!🗿
