should i enroll in a $800 online c++ learning course
Kidalex90:
so like 2-3 months ago my mom made me take the act because i wanted to enter some c++ learning course thats hosted by some gifted kid group that i managed to get into because i could read in kindergarden that also required you to get at least a 22 in math to enter
so i somehow managed to get a 22 and now i can enter the course
however, it costs $800 for me to get into and if i do enter it my mom will want me to complete the whole thing (which i have a feeling i wont because i got really forgetin bored of khan academy java courses and gave up on them a few years back)
so im wondering if it will be a good idea for me to enter this said course
give me advice
*Trinick:
No. You can learn C++ for free, and you'll have significantly more material. If you pay the $800, you're unlikely to be self-motivated enough to complete the class in the given time frame, and even if you do there's no guarantee that the class will cover anything close to career-related topics that will benefit you in the long term. Plus, there's no reason to learn C++ as your first language. Do yourself a favor and learn something easier, like Javascript or Python.
Mardalf:
That was callous
I don't have anything constructive to say except 800$ is a pretty good sum of money
Maxwell.:
no, do not
I recently found a good site called sololearn for C++ and other languages if you want like javascript and python, sign up and teach yourself through that
Nonnel:
there are so many free resources for this it'd be silly to pay, especially $800
