I keep trying to read the books I found on here, however no matter what I do these books keep using other C++ words to describe C++ words. I am a 'break it down to its molecular structure one quark at a time' kind of person. These books are driving me nuts. Self references are abundant in most of these books to define things that should have been said with real words instead of groupings of concepts. I feel like I am extrapolating a scientific process every time an "instructor" goes over the first line of code. I want to know what each of those hash tags is doing BEFORE you tell me what comes next. The videos are so full of contradictions and same word multi-references that it makes listening to them nauseous.
I can't help but notice all these books are written for people who already know how to program. If no one is willing to break a concept down to its actual definition instead of its conceptual definition then why are these words being used in the first place? Who writes a language in concepts instead of practical applications of functional letters and numbers?
Is there some kind of plain English dictionary or guide for programming that isn't meant for someone who has already done it?
