The lessons are taught by several different instructors who have used C++ in their professional careers, so students get to experience different perspectives.
The course also includes comments and tips from Bjarne Stroustrup - the original designer of C++.
This course teaches C++ to students already familiar with a programming language. Students will learn how to use header files, control flow, functions, classes.
[
Anyone wishing to quickly learn how to program in C++ will find this course to be quite satisfactory. You will quickly learn to program in C++ by learning the essentials of the language.
You will also get to hear different approaches and perspectives regarding using C++ as a professional.
,This course does not offer in depth discussions of C++, nor does it offer a lot of alternative/advanced methods. It focuses on preparing the student to program in C++ with the minimum expenditure of time.

lesson 3
Control Flow
You will learn if, if-else, while, do-while, and switch statements.
lesson 4
Pointers
This lesson is a quick review of pointers. We discuss them here because we’ll use them in the Arrays lesson.
lesson 5
Array
We will do a preliminary exploration of two dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.
lesson 6
Functions
Functions with and without return values, with and without parameters, and passing by reference are demonstrated and used in this lesson.
lesson 7
Classes
This lesson is a basic introduction to classes. You will practice creating and instantiating classes in this lesson.
lesson 8
Overloading
We introduce overloading functions in this lesson as a segue into templates.
lesson 9
Templates
We introduce generic programming through templates. First function templates then class templates.
