Study Notes

  • TheCherno is launching a new video series focusing on teaching C++ specifically in the context of game programming, but the knowledge can be applied beyond just game development.
  • The series is designed for both beginners and advanced learners, covering fundamentals compactly but comprehensively.
  • C++ remains highly relevant today, especially in industries like game development where direct hardware control is crucial. Major game engines like Unity, Unreal, and Frostbite are written in C++.
  • C++ allows for direct control over hardware by writing code, compiling it with a compiler, and producing machine code for the target platform.
  • C++ can run on various platforms as long as there is a compiler generating machine code for that platform, including Windows, Mac, Linux, mobile operating systems like iOS and Android, and gaming consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles.
  • C++ is a native language, producing machine code specific to a platform without the need for further translation at runtime like virtual machine-based languages such as C# or Java.
  • The series will cover a range of topics including basics, utilizing the C++ library effectively, memory management, pointers, templates, macros, custom data structures, low-level optimization, and more to help write efficient C++ code.
