Learning C++

I first started out trying to learn C# but found out that in order to code the trading strategies and functions that we want, we would have to use this package called Sierra Charts

The developer I am working with is very familiar with SC and pointed me to this C++ Tutorial https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AdvancedCustomStudyInterfaceAndLanguage.php#CPlusPlusReferences

This software looks rather dated in comparison to something like MultiCharts https://www.multicharts.com/net/ which uses .NET.

I might consider switching at some point to another platform like MC .net version, but in all my research, I see that C++ is the most prevalent among traders.  It is fast, which is the main consideration, and lots of pre-written functions already exist for it.

So I have switched my focus, since I am developing in C++ currently with SC, to learning the basics of C++ over C#.

I have been through the tutorial above and think I have absorbed just enough of it to barely understand what it is, but I am determined and now want to find a better tutorial that won't take me too far off base from what I am trying to do which is to code trading strategies.

I'd still like to learn the basics of C++ a little bit better before really getting my feet wet with Sierra Charts as I am currently letting my developer work on developing the function, which he is much better off doing, without my interference.

I'd like a tutorial for C++ that is much more interactive, lets me get some brief description, and then asks me to type something, complete with a way to test my knowledge.

Assistance in finding the right tutorial for C++ is greatly appreciated.
