+
+**Suggested order**
+1. Install a compiler and choose an IDE
+2. Learn variables, types, conditions, and loops
+3. Learn functions and basic program structure
+4. Learn classes, structs, and object-oriented programming
+5. Learn the standard library, including strings, vectors, and maps
+6. Practice by building small projects and debugging your code
+
+**Recommended resources**
+📘 **Learn C++**
+https://www.learncpp.com/
+
+📖 **C++ Reference**
+https://en.cppreference.com/
+
+**Common advice**
+✅ Learn modern C++, rather than treating it as C with classes
+✅ Prefer resources that explain why code works
+✅ Read and write code regularly
+❌ Do not rely on AI to write your code for you
+
+If you're stuck, ask in the help channels: <#1130494190615265342>.
+Include your code, error messages, what you tried, and what you expected to happen.)";
