The C++ Field Guide
All in one. Source of truth. Call me if you get stuck.
Peter —
I rolled all my notes into one guide. The earlier two PDFs had a couple things wrong (I fixed those in the Sim 3 addendum) — this combined one is the source of truth. If it disagrees with anything I sent you before, trust this.
Big new section toward the back: How to Code 101 — knowns, unknowns, nouns, verbs. I walk through it by writing a Blackjack game from scratch. Every concept shows up in that one program.
