Learn C++ programming, starting with the basics. Widely used for both systems and applications development, C++ is available for virtually every operating system and has influenced and informed many derivative languages, including C# and Java. In this course, Bill Weinman guides you through the nuts and bolts of this essential language. He helps you set up your environment for coding and dissects the anatomy of a basic C++ program. He reviews the essentials- "statements and expressions, variables, conditionals, operators, loops, and functions- "and moves on to more complex topics, such as data structures, classes and objects, and templates. Along the way, Bill explains concepts such as recursion, type casting, and operator overloads, and dives into the powerful container classes and algorithms in Standard Template Library (STL). These exhaustive tutorials provide a solid C++ reference for both experienced programmers and those who are brand new to the language.

C++ is an efficient and versatile programming language. C++ powers systems software, desktop applications, and even video games, and it's the language that helped land humans on the moon. Simply put, C++ is a must-know for any modern-day programmer- "and it's a great place to get started if you're programming for the first time. This course will get you up and running fast. Instructor Erin Colvin covers simple data types, including numbers and strings; flow-control features like loops and if, else, and switch statements; and functions, the code that encapsulates tasks your program performs. Dr. Colvin also covers working with files and special data structures such as classes and linked lists. Each chapter is full of practical code examples and challenges to help you practice your C++ skills.
