If you can't, you'll be replaced by some who can.
You never learn from cookbook. Those are used for references. Just like you don't learn English from reading dictionary.
Agreed. Cookbooks, in my experience, are compendiums of small semi-projects referent to common tasks in a language. Not particularly helpful for OP’s use case,IMO.

Anyone have experience with these books? I was just looking at the Javascript one recently. Is it worth getting?
and you will still learn things along the way
Eh, I learned C++ by reading through the C++ lessons on Cprogramming.com, messing around a bit with my own experimental code, starting to build my own game engine, and answering questions on Stack Overflow (to force myself to figure out the solution, and to force myself to use features I'd never used before).
...Somehow, as of the time this post was made, I know more about advanced template metamagic than basic file IO. (Or retain template magic BS more easily, maybe because it's so much more memorably bizarre.) I can do both, but one takes a lot less checking CPPReference or looking back at my own test code than the other. Mission accomplished...?
Analyzing user profile...
Account does not have any comments.
One or more of the hidden checks performed tested positive.

This account exhibits traits commonly found in karma farming bots. It's very possible that u/Icy_Pea_583 is a bot, but I cannot be completely certain.
I am a bot. This action was performed automatically. Check my profile for more information.
I've seen a lot of posts by this account today I think they might be a bot as they also have no post history in their account
What is the profit for the bots owner of doing this, do they really want internet points so badly?
Farming Karma with a bot can help to increase the Account value, as well as a certain Account age. Such accounts then are often used in bot networks for distributing desinformation, spreading propaganda, or promoting scams.
Due to the typical markers a normal user would normally check (account age, account history, posts, comments, karma, and so on) appear to be theses of a normal Account, there is a higher chance of archiving the bot owners goal (again, desinfo,scams,et cetera) and makes the account therefore more more valuable.
In other words: someone is growing little Fake Accounts to sell them when they grow old enough. And because its „quite easy“ to automate this stuff, and then just wait for a bunch of accounts to be ready to harvest, this can be very profitable.
Thanks for your explanation, the situation is very sad :( I didn't know about these things (account farms) even exists
