Aims

This course aims to help developers who have started using C++ to get a full understanding of the language features that they are using and help to develop a systematic understanding of how the language works that will be helpful in learning more advanced development in C++.

While this course is not intended as an introduction to C++, there is also an introduction guide to the language that aims to give a broad overview of the syntax and approach to C++ which will help developers working in another compiled language get started. If you have previously worked in an interpreted language like Python, Matlab or R then this document might help you get started with compiled languages, but C++ is a fairly unforgiving starting point.

When this course has been given, links to streaming videos of the sections will be placed below
