Almost all other courses focus on knowledge. In this course, we focus on 4 critical skills.

Overall:

• The course covers basic to advanced modern C++ syntax. Beginners in C++ will learn a lot!

• The course helps you master the 4 most important skills for a programmer

  • Programming skills

  • Problem-solving skills: rarely covered by other courses

  • Project building skills: partially covered by other courses

  • Design skills: rarely covered by other courses

• 7+ times practice & homework compare to other courses + 6 projects

• Special Teaching style: iterative, easy, and short

• This is an English Course only.  1/3 Course now has Manual English subtitles. Remaining under-progress.

Content

• Basic to advanced modern C++.

  • Fundamentals: Variables, Loops, Control Flow, Functions, Recursive Functions, Arrays

  • Advanced Topics: Pointers, STL, Templates, Headers, and Includes, Exception Handling, Compilation Process, Debugging

  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Operator Overloading

  • Modern Topics in C++11/C++14/C++17:

    • Move Semantics, Perfect Forwarding, Variadic Template, Folding expressions, Smart Pointers, Lambda Expressions, Wrappers (Optional, Variant, Any), Uniform initialization, noexcept, Structured Binding, Nested namespaces, misc.

    • OOP: Member initializer, Defaulted and Deleted Functions, Delegating constructors, Inheriting Constructors

    • STL: Forward list, Initializer list, Array, Unordered containers

  • Design: Several principles and patterns are embedded in the homework & projects

• A huge set of Quizzes, Practice, Homework, and Projects

  • 2 styles of homework: Algorithmic (problem-solving) and applications

  • Several software design concerns are embedded in the homework.

  • So you are getting introduced to Software Engineering & Design Patterns

  • Several quizzes to master the concepts

• Clarification: The core intentions of this course to provide very strong introduction to C++. Specifically up to the 6th project. After the last project, the course introduces some further modern C++ syntax (no quizzes/homework in this part). If you are new to C++, there is no course that competes with this one. But, if you are expert or target working with C++ in the market, you will need to good deeper after this course. A useful reference is “C++17 – The Complete Guide” book. Not that, this course provides some C++17 coverage but not all of it. However, the course provides pretty good coverage for C++11/14. Please consider the table of content if you are not new to C++ to satisfy your expectations.

Building Skills: Practice, Homework, and Projects

• One unique feature in this course is my education strategy:

  • Explain, Administrate & Challenge

• Each video smoothly explains a simple concept(s)

• Typically followed by easy to medium practice to administrate the concept

• Then typically followed by an easy-medium-hard set of homework questions to challenge you

• Extensive homework from easy to medium to hard to help to build the skills.

• Most of the practice/homework questions are unique in this course

  • Programming questions are mainly from my competitive programming experience

  • OOP questions are mostly invented to achieve several goals:

    • Mastering the OOP concepts

    • Enforcing a lot of design heuristics & OOD

    • Preparing you for design principles and patterns

• Small-to-large set of projects to build up project building and design skills

• Solutions to all of them.

By the end of the journey

• Solid understanding of programming concepts using C++

• Mastering the target 4 skills

• With the administered problem-solving skills

  • You can start competitive programming smoothly in Div2-A/B Codeforces

  • Smooth start in Data Structure course

  • Smooth start in Algorithms course

• With the administered project-building and design skills

  • Smooth start in Software Engineering course

  • Later, smooth start in one of the technology tracks in frontend or backend

• More career options such as games or embedded development.

Don’t miss such a unique learning experience!

Who this course is for:

• Whoever curious about programming
• Learned programming, but has weak skills due to trying little challenges and projects
• Experts in other programming languages migrating to C++
