Re: Best way to start?
If the C++ is robot related, then hopefully the common terminology, common parameterization, and common structure of the libraries will help a bit. There was an intentional decision to offer much of WPILib in source, and to show alternate language implementations to assist in cross-language communications and to hopefully assist in learning a subsequent language using WPILib and robotics as a common element.
I'd suggest opening examples that perform similar tasks and looking for similarities. Use reference books and/or tutorials to learn the stuff you don't know. As you make it through those examples, work your way to the starter code, vision code, etc. As Alan stated, these are very different languages, so don't expect it to be easy, but if you can learn both, you have your head wrapped around far more than the typical SW student.
Good luck.
