Course Overview
Learn the basics of C++ to prepare you for game development programming!
There are many C++ tutorials for Unreal Engine or other game engines out there, but most just assume you have a solid background in C++, or they cover the basics quickly. This is because Unreal Engine C++ is already too complicated to cover learning an entire programming language plus Unreal Engine programming in a single course. This course is designed to teach you C++ from the ground up, starting at absolute beginner level content and working up to advanced level techniques. This course will prepare you for programming video games in Unreal Engine, Cryengine, Lumberyard, or any game engine. Unreal Engine is not used in this course. This is a course on the basics of C++.

much better than freecodecamp's 31 hours C++ course which used studio code. I took that one before this one. Their course explains memory much more in depth, but the explanations here about pretty much everything are much better, not quite as fast, and easier to follow.

I've gained a great foundational understanding of C++. I come from 4+ years using Blueprints in Unreal Engine and this course was perfect for me.

Nice and in-depth explanation. May benefit from giving examples in a gaming context, like in Polymorphism (E.g., Enemy -> Archer -> Elite Archer). Other than that, excellent! Maybe the course can be updated to include some newer advances or topics in C++.

Genuinely love the teaching style and explanations are clear and understandable. I did all this in 2 months using writing my own notes and taking breaks in between but I have a solid Grasp on C++ for game development!
