In Detail
Do you know that C++ is used by over 4 million developers worldwide? In the US, a C++ developer earns around S100,000 a year. Through this video course, you will learn C++ by building applications.
The course starts by taking you through the learning objectives and helps you with the process of setting up the environment on Windows and macOS. Once you are ready to code, you will learn to build many interesting applications, such as MadLibs Clone, Jam of the Month, Parallel Array/Vectors, and Tic-Tac-Toe, to become familiar with C++ concepts such as variables, data types, operators, control statements, arrays, vectors, and functions.
Moving along, you will again learn to build interesting projects to get to grips with classes, objects, exception handling, debugging, pointers, inheritance, and polymorphism. Finally, you will get an overview of templates, Standard Template Library (STL), pointers, and operator overloading.
By the end of this course, you will have developed basic and advanced C++ skills needed to build modern and robust applications.
Audience
Whether you are new to C++, or an experienced software developer who is looking to build real-world applications in C++, this course is for you.
