You definitely don’t need our permission. Jests aside, C++ is a tough language to start with. It is very unforgiving to programming errors, and you need a greater understanding of how computers work on a low level than with what is known as “managed” programming languages, like C#. This can make it quite disheartening to a pure beginner. That being said, you most certainly wouldn’t be the first person to start out with C++, and you can end up more knowledgeable for it. Writing code inside a game engine can be a lot more fun than plain old business applications, making the learning process more bearable, but Unreal’s C++ documentation most definitely won’t teach you how to code - it expects you know a fair deal going in, requiring you to start learning the language, and programming in general, on your own.
Any idea where one or how one can start learning C++ first then? I’m new too and would very much like to learn, I’m just not exactly sure how to start.
