Course Description

"Thanks Michael for offering one of most impressive, conceptually clear, immersive and enjoyable courses I have ever taken!"

Fluent with another modern programming language and need a kick-start with C++? This 16-hour course has been designed to provide other-language-programmers an introduction to the Modern C++ language. We will dive into portions of the core language and standard library that enable modern idioms and best practices. We wont spend time on old-school techniques. Concepts and techniques are solidified through examples and exercises.
