Course Overview
Create Code That Screams with C++! Hours of Video Lecture, Lab Exercises and Dozens of Code Samples for You To Use!
Have you always wanted to create console video games, but lack the basic C++ skills? Do you want to understand a more "heavy-duty" programming language? Do you really want to get "under the hood" and complete more complex computing tasks quickly? Do you simply want to advance your current skill set and learn one of the world's most popular programming languages?
C++ is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It's used for everything from financial trading applications (where speed equals revenue!) to console video games.
Delve into the C++ programming language with this course, C++ For Beginners, authored by expert David Pither-Patterson. David is an experienced instructor, specializing in presenting complex technical information in a manner that just about anyone can grasp. With David's help, you'll start by setting up your development environment and working your way through all the C++ fundamentals.
Included in the 46 video lectures that comprise the course are dozens and dozens of code examples that you can learn from. You'll also complete engaging lab exercises that are not only fun, but specially designed to help you retain the information in the lectures.
C++ is one of the most important languages you can learn--and there is no better way to learn it than with LearnToProgram's David Pither-Patterson!

This was a great class for getting through the basics, I've used C and C# in the past and the majority of this is the same, but it's been long enough that it was a well needed refresher. The only thing I could say for improvement would be to take a little more time with some of the snippets of code and explain what they do a little more, I would think someone brand new might have a bit of trouble keeping up from about section 8 and up. The pacing gets a little quick and some of the newly introduced lines of code aren't explained as well as they could be.

Probably the best beginner c++ course I've tried, very clear explanations, with many important tips to become a better programmer and I like the lab exercises alot, because the best way to learn is to try and do some challenges yourselve

These lessons are well done, they are very understandable, they explain what they are doing without spending any extra time or repetition in nu-necessary places. This is 100 times better than the college lessons I took. I'm learning the terminology and all the necessary tools to start development in c++ (I'm familiar with many other languages already(
