Tips for starting out in c++

This post will contain some stuff that I (as a junior programmer, I know very high level), can recommend on starting out in C++. These things will be stuff like basic tips, some project ideas and anything else I think of. It won't be very extensive for now since both I can't be fucked and also since I want this to be a place for people to share their own tips and experiences. So if you yourself are experienced or want to share some stuff, don't be afraid to post a comment.

Project Ideas:

• simple guess the word game — One player inputs a word, and then a second player has to guess the word, you can implement features like limited tried. If you decide to this with single letter guesses, then you can make the program display the word with only the guessed letters.
• Dynamic Array — Something I did myself and use in all projects, this was before I release that `std::vector` isn't a vector but actually a dynamic array as well. This is a perfect project that can develop your skills with memory management, class coordination, operator overloads and also templates if you decide to make the project template.
• Console Menu – Something that is decently hard to figure out but easy to implement. Create a menu that displays in a console, make the arrow keys be used to navigate the menu.

Some tips for development in general:

If you want to program for fun/hobby, or you are planning to get a job, I would highly recommend you use GitHub (Or some form of version control that can be also used as a portfolio). It means that your progress gets tracked, so you can go back in case you fucked up, or you can look back at your work and either improve it or laugh at it.
