For : several solid free video paths exist beyond the paid/demo options noted by and , and the board Read Me pointers mentioned by remain useful. A practical approach is to pick one clean beginner video series and pair it with a concise textual reference so the videos teach concepts and the text fills gaps and answers questions later.

Good free video sources (search these names on YouTube): TheCherno (clear, hands-on, modern C++ basics), freeCodeCamp (one-shot full-course walkthroughs), and CppCon talks (great once basic syntax is comfortable). For up-to-date written reference and worked examples use LearnCpp.com and consult the standard-library reference at cppreference.com. Prefer material labeled "C++11" or later to avoid obsolete practices.

Recommended workflow: pick a single video series and follow it while typing every example (do not just copy/paste). Install a toolchain (Visual Studio Community on Windows, or GCC/Clang on Linux/macOS). Pause/replay segments, then read the same topic on LearnCpp and cppreference. Compile often and fix errors as they appear.

Example compile command (Linux/macOS with g++):

g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra main.cpp -o main

Starter projects and pitfalls: begin with "Hello world", small calculators, a simple class (bank/account), vector-based containers, and a text-based game. Avoid very old tutorials that use headers like <iostream.h> or teach raw new/delete without smart pointers. Focus on STL containers and basic RAII patterns before deep pointer arithmetic.

Take a look here

It's not entirely free, but a demo is free so you can see what you would get.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. you will find lots of information for beginners in the Read Me threads at the beginning of this board.
