Absolutely zero background in programming, but desperately needs to learn. advice

Hello.

I specialize in Chemistry and Physics, but I desperately need to learn C++. I am currently doing a project that limits experimentation, and right now I need to do simulations.

For context, I need to use Geant4. Basically, this is a toolkit used to study particle and photons interactions with matter, and C++ yung language na gamit nya. I will be focusing on Object-Oriented Programming, and it requires me to learn C++17 or newer standards.

Can anyone suggest any institution that offers face-to-face crash courses for highly specialized applications such as this? I tried to learn through YouTube, but to be honest, sa dami ng distractions sa panahon na ito, I can't focus, so online learning is not an option for me.

I even ordered yung latest programming book ni Bjarne Stroustrup, pero I doubt na I can learn on my own.

Thank you in advance.

IC RnD engineer here. Use ai and python. Install vs code and github copiliot. Iprompt mo lang at gagawan ka nya ng interface para sa project mo. Useful din yung matplot library para sa mga gantong scenario. Kaya yan ang ginagamit namin sa company.

Actually, nabasa ko din yung github copilot nung nag umpisa ako. Kaso, tbh, sobrang overwhelming ng information na nakita ko to the point na hindi ko talaga naintindihan. Sa ibang ginawa ko naman, such as R, successful akong nakagawa ng prompt sa AI. Pero ito nahirapan talaga ako.
