Learn How to Program with C++
by Kate Gregory
If you've never programmed before, and you think you'd like to learn C++, why not learn it first? This course covers what you need to start writing real applications in C++.
What you'll learn
C++ has a reputation for being a very difficult language to learn, and to use well. Changes to the language and the library that accompanies it have changed that. Beginners can now learn C++ and write real applications. In this course you'll learn the important parts of C++ 11 syntax, get an introduction to the most useful parts of the Standard Library, and be challenged to write applications yourself in addition to watching someone else write and explain code.
