Gonna be using learncpp website, anyone used this website or can point me in the direction of some good learning sources

Try some book instead, it might give you a better sight on the lingo itself. Just google -> good cpp book -> probably any result from stack.
Also it would be better to not to learn C++ at all.

Hey man , long time no see

If you are completly new to a programming world, I would advice you to step back from C++ and start with python for example.

Also. If you are absolute begginer, best starting point would be CS50 course from harvard university which can be accesed online. It is open to anyone, and you have videos of lectures, tasks and large group of students where you can exchange knowledge.

At the end of that lecture, you will learn basic stuff with C, you will learn data structures and algorithms and you will dive into web programming (python, django, html, css, js and sql).
That path is hard, but really fun to do. There is also verified certificate from harvard if you manage to pass all tasks which is a good reference if you are aiming for your first job in IT field.

However, if you have some prior knowledge and you really want to focus on c++, I do have some online books in it. Just pm me if you need em.

if you want to learn good CPP, first you need to learn it well C, else you may be doing sometimes things that you don't really understand (memory alloc, pointers, etc). The author of C++ has some books but they need a good base to start, they are not easy at all for a newbie. If you need a good book for C, "The C programming language" from Kernighan and Ritchie 2nd edition. This is a good reference and puts you in the right place of the serious programming

(Btw, if u wanna make programs fast and "cool looking", use java, python, c# or some modern language updated, c++ is a long way to reach GUI programs).

i would do a quick google/reddit search for some books over c++ or check out youtube (free) some udemy courses (paid) all in all it's the same thing..

also like others have said python is an easier language to grasp as a beginner.
