You Already Know C++

C++ for JavaScript developers — you already know more than you think.

12 Episodes Planned

For JavaScript Developers

Video + Written Content

What is this series?

If you're a JavaScript developer curious about C++, this series is for you. Instead of starting from scratch, we'll build on patterns and concepts you already understand from JavaScript and show you how they translate to modern C++.

You'll discover that:

C++ has lambdas, closures, and higher-order functions just like JavaScript
Modern C++ has smart pointers that work like JavaScript's garbage collection
async/await exists in C++ (coroutines)
C++ has map, filter, reduce equivalents
Modules in C++20 work similarly to ES modules
