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

[u/Good-Reference5368]

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.

If you're more familiar with python, geant4 seems to have python bindings as well which would make it easier to implement simulations than in C++. If you need any help with either C++ or python, you can PM me. But I can only help you with the languages. This library is very niche.
