Description

This course will enhance your knowledge of the technically challenging but powerful and efficient C++ programming language.

It is designed to give you an intermediate-to-advanced level understanding of the language. There is extensive coverage of the Standard Template Library, including standard algorithm functions. Finally, a project in which you will exercise your new skills by writing a simple game.

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to apply for jobs and courses which require a good knowledge of C++.

The material is based around the modern version of the language. I teach the C++11, C++14 and C++17 standards, but also cover older variations which are still widely used.

The course is thorough and goes into the material in depth. It assumes basic C++ knowledge, such as the material in my course "Begin Programming with Modern C++": function calls, loops, conditionals and classes.

There are downloadable exercises for each video, with solutions, so you can check your understanding as you learn, gaining familiarity and confidence with the material.

I will be actively supporting the course and I will respond promptly if you have any questions or experience difficulties with the course content. Please feel free to use the Q&A feature or alternatively you can send me a private message.
