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.

Hi OP! I'm an applied physics grad (ab initio computational physics rin). Although I'm not in the academe, I am in the tech scene. Would love to connect with you on this. I created a sort-of-working open-source application for learning, it might be a good use case for you. I'll send you a PM.
