C++ Essential Training

Course details

Whether you are a beginning programmer or an advanced one, it may be time to level up your C++ skills. In this course, Bill Weinman helps you do exactly that. Bill discusses the history of C++ and modern C++, as well. He explains the C++ toolchain, then dives into basics you need to know, like basic syntax, statements and expressions, identifiers, variables, pointers, and references. Bill discusses flow control conditionals, loops, and functions. He deep dives into data types, operators, and functions, then walks you through how to use classes and objects. Plus, Bill covers how to to use templates, including the Standard Template Library (STL).
