Build something that you’re relatively interested in and write it in C or C++. They are different enough that one at a time is probably best. Start with C if you can.

Learn basic syntax first and than start doing projects and refer to docs. AI is helpful if you need advice but I dont recommend code assistants like Copilot or Cursor when you are trying to learn.

Note I’m not a cs major (I’m business), but I have used this method to learn almost every single programming language that is relevant and I have built some crazy things.
