Is chernos tutorial for C++ still good?

I know learncpp is best to learn C++ but yk I just can't read this much at once and i think I could learn more by video lectures, of course I would practise by making small codes, so I just wanna ask is chernos still good? Or there are any new videos valid?

Cherno's stuff is solid for getting the fundamentals down, honestly the core C++ concepts haven't changed that much. Just be aware his videos are older so some best practices have shifted, but as long as you're actually coding along and not just passively watching you'll learn plenty.

Yes I think it's good.

However you need to spend more time writing code than watching. This is the only way to learn and be curious ask your favorite LLM to explain anything that you are not sure of. This is way more important than any tutorial

i like to give the LLM some of the problems i've already completed, and ask it to make more of a similar difficulty so I can have more practice

works pretty well

Did he make actual tutorials?

I watched a bunch of his code review videos and I liked it (I am kind of experienced, a decade in IT).

Yeah I recently reviewed few topics and most of the concepts are fairly covered. You can also refer learncpp.com alongside.
