Made two changes:

  1. C++ section - Added BroCode's 6h tutorial since the existing 1h one doesn't cover memory or pointers, which are essential for UE C++. Also added Cherno's series for anyone wanting to go deeper, with a note that it's not required.

  2. IDE section - Added a note that Visual Studio is the recommended choice for people who don't want to deal with manual configuration.

Full diff is in the files changed tab :)

also, i know that Rider by JB is way better for UE, but VS is more recommened because it's free, whereas JB Rider is only free for non-commercial uses

README.md Outdated

Highly recommend taking a short class of native C++. Here is a video link to ~1h long [video tutorial from Mosh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzaPdXTrSb8).

But to properly work with Unreal Engine C++, you'll need to understand memory and pointers - the ~6h [video tutorial from BroCode](https://youtu.be/-TkoO8Z07hI) covers all of that and is the one I recommend going through.<br />

There is too much information here that is unlikely to be needed, and I don’t think it’s necessary to recommend reviewing it at the beginning of the course.

I get your point, but I'd rather swap it for BroCode's tutorial instead of removing it entirely. For UE5 C++, understanding memory and pointers is pretty much required, and Mosh's 1h video doesn't really cover that. BroCode's ~6h one does, so I think it's more useful here.
