Description

This course is aimed at those who have never programmed before. If you're interested in programming and have a reason for choosing C++ as a language to learn, this course is for you. Rather than learning programming concepts in a language you don’t care about and then learning C++, you can do both at once.

In this course, Learn to Program with C++, you'll learn basic programming concepts along with C++ syntax.

First, you'll learn how to get the tools to develop in C++ and basics like building and running an application.
Next, you'll expand your knowledge of C++ syntax and concepts.
Finally, you'll discover how to use classes from the C++ Standard Library and how to write and use your own functions and classes.

When you've completed this course, you'll know enough C++ to get started, as well as many of the things that make C++ unlike other languages, and you'll be ready to learn libraries and frameworks specific to the kinds of applications you want to make.

Course Overview
[Autogenerated] Hi, everyone. My name is Kate Gregory, and welcome to my course. Learn to program with C plus. Plus, I'm a consultant and mentor. Aggregor consulting. I've been using C plus plus for over 30 years, and I've really enjoyed watching it change over the decades. You know, a lot of people think C plus plus is too hard to learn as a first programming language that you should go learn a different language first, then come back and learn c++. If that's what you want. I think they're wrong, and this course is my proof. In this course, you'll learn basic programming concepts along with the corresponding supose plus in tax. Some of the major topics that will cover include variables, loops and branches, the C plus plus standard library classes and objects, and how to use templates, operator overloading and other features that makes people's plus stand out from other languages. By the end of this course, you'll know enough C plus plus to read and write simple working programs. Before beginning the course. You should be familiar with editing text files on your operating system. All cover everything else you need from here. You should feel comfortable diving into even more supose plus with courses like Suppose plus fundamentals, including Cipel's Plus 17. Some of that will be a review, and some will be new or beautiful. Suppose plus STL algorithms and first look Suppose plus core guidelines in the Guidelines Support Library. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn suppose plus with the LEARN to program with C plus plus course, that plural site.
