(Re-)Learn C++ by Example
summary
Hybrid conference logistics, a poster session in person and on Gather Town, and a failed Wi‑Fi attempt frame a practical push to teach C++ through small playable projects. The book shows concrete examples implemented as tiny games — notably a higher/lower card game — that demonstrate language features (using enums and variants), exercise fundamentals, and produce a runnable artifact students can extend and test.
