C++ For Programmers

C++ for Programmers is designed for students who are familiar with a programming language and wish to learn C++.

This course focuses on 'how' as opposed to 'what'. For example, in the lesson on functions, we do not teach what a function is, but rather how to create a function in C++.
The lessons are taught by several different instructors who have used C++ in their professional careers, so students get to experience different perspectives.

The course also includes comments and tips from Bjarne Stroustrup - the original designer of C++.

• The Basics
• You will learn Program structure, header files, IO Compilation and Execution.
• Arithmetic Operations
• You will learn the most commonly used arithmetic operations in C++.
• Control Flow
• You will learn if, if-else, while, do-while, and switch statements.
• Pointers
• This lesson is a quick review of pointers. We discuss them here because we'll use them in the Arrays lesson.
• Array
• We will do a preliminary exploration of two dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.
• Functions
• Functions with and without return values, with and without parameters, and passing by reference are demonstrated and used in this lesson.
• Classes
• This lesson is a basic introduction to classes. You will practice creating and instantiating classes in this lesson.
• Overloading
• We introduce overloading functions in this lesson as a segue into templates.
• Templates
• We introduce generic programming through templates. First function templates then class templates.
