Amazing to understand the basics in C++ but I don't need the basics <3. If you're interested in learning C++ this is a good resource but I didn't liked the use of AP libraries but I guess is still useful.

This was a good refresher and chapter 15 (the last one) was a little useful. Good job buddy.

Serves wonderfully as a refresher. Truly insane that there's already been 3 specifications (C++17, 20, 23) since I first started with C++14
