Course Overview
Master the C and C++ programming language with easy to understand examples
This course is an introduction to the C and C++ programming language. The C programming language has spurred many language developments since its invention by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s. Many modern programming languages owe their syntax to C. C is still a very popular programming language after over 40 years. C++ is based on C, but extends the language with features such as function templates, namespaces, and (of course) classes.
In this course, we'll explore the C and C++ programming language. We'll start with data types of C, then quickly dispel the mystery (and fright) that surrounds C's most powerful element, the pointer. Understanding pointers first allows us to grasp the underlying nature of arrays and structs, parameters passed by reference, and many other things hidden by other languages but exposed in C.
Then we will move to streams in C++ , which simplify input and output a great deal.
Here's a brief list of what you'll learn:
C Topics :
- Data types and operators
- Pointers and arrays
- Command line arguments
- Decisions and loops
- Functions
- Structures
- The stack vs. the heap, and dynamic allocation
C++ Topics :
- Primitive data types and variables
- How to create and use namespaces
- Basic I/O in C++ using streams
- File input and output using streams
- Function templates - a look at writing generic code
- Classes and objects
- Constructors and Destructors
- Inheritance (Single and Multiple)
If you've been thinking about learning C and C++, then this course is a good first step.

Watching the way Rick laid out the whole video in one big sheet of code, commented out and then in in a ladder type of fashion. That is impressive alone! How many courses have you seen that that much thought is put into the lessons code? That speaks for itself, I want to have Ricks courses, the mind behind it is an artist.

im using windows the materials are through mac so there is a bit of an adjustment that needs to be done to keep up with operations that occur.

Some videos let you follow along and type out yourself pretty easy and some you can't really do that with. He breezed by a few things, for example, he briefly mentioned what variable++ does without too much thought. I think it would have been better to introduce students to `variable = variable + 1`, and then explain the shorthand later. I also noticed that he did the same thing with the difference between = and ==. I've had a pretty good time with this course so far but I' not completely new to this either, someone that's totally new might get a little more confused.

This course would improve significantly with some assignments! Topics covered are great and give great understanding but giving an assignment to write queue structure with some good bases on how it should work would improve remembering it greatly! Overall all topics that I expected to be covered in a good detail. Great course.
