I work with an electrical engineer and he's learning software development in the field as he goes.
I often work with him, and am teaching him C++. It can be challenging because there are things he needs to know by certain deadlines, and he's got about 2 hours worth of stamina for a lesson at any given time.
He knows a little C, still new to classes, understands pointers (sort of), gets static members to the point where he wished he knew they existed in previous endeavors of his.
I have to teach him C++ templates and avoid STL containers because I've only got two hours to convey the fundamentals.
Also he's in Eastern Europe right now, and I'm in North America, just to up the difficulty setting a bit.
*cracks knuckles*
*sips coffee*
I got this.

You might suggest he peruse Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo. Its a little dated now ( © 2000), but takes the position that the STL is the foundation of C++ programming, so it introduces STL concepts like vectors very early. It's available as a PDF here: Accelerated C++ Programming.pdf | DocDroid
Someone really ought to persuade them to produce a second edition, updated for a newer C++ version.
I'd also recommend Justin Turner's C++ weekly channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3KjaCtOwSZ2tbuV1hx8Xz-rFZTan2J1 His more recent episodes tend to get quite technical, but some of the early ones explain C++ features quite clearly, with examples. For example, there's quite a few episodes covering lambdas, which might help clear up some of the confusion surrounding that particular topic.

LOL! I just recommended that very book to him this morning.

It's a classic, but as I said a little dated. Probably the biggest things are the inclusion of auto type deduction and ranged for loops. Both of which reduce typing, if nothing else. I'd have to look up how to write a loop using a fully declared iterator as the control variable, as opposed to either an auto or a ranged for.

how do you teach him? through online meeting such as Zoom?![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
diligent hands rule....

We use a combo of remote desking w/ anydesk and phone. zoom is not so great because he's in a remote area without great broadband.

I don't know, but this seems like a loose-loose situation.
good luck.

He has kept up so far, so I have some faith.
He had to call it now, but when he's ready for the next round, so am I.

And this is how you give birth to software horrors.
And why I hate that is it so easy to create software and that you can change it at almost no cost as many times as you wish : Nobody would come to the idea of teaching mechanical construction at a newbie in a crash course, just because the amount of costly havoc that they can create with that partial knowledge in a real project is not accountable.

LOL it's alright man. I'm leading this project.
Think if it more like a custom auto shop, where I'm teaching one of the shop hands how to do metalwork.
I'm not sending any cars out without going over what he's done. It's going to be fine.

I have been too long in the industry to know how this kind of things will end : On your day off there will be a quick metal piece that need to be urgently welded, it will be done because urgent and stuff, and the welded axle of the school bus will not be well welded, will break and the bus will violently hit two walls, run through the kindergarten, and fall from a cliff.

I've done this before too, and had better experiences than you. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.

This applies to every new dev. Even you! It’s called experience and it’s why you have more experienced people in charge of juniors. If he crashes the bus that’s not just his fault. It’s also the witches responsibility.
That’s just the way it is.
Edited to not be such a dickhead. Sorry!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
