Course details
C++ is one of the most powerful and widely used programming languages of all time. It is also one of the oldest programming languages in use today. In this course, learn the basic elements of this object-oriented programming language that moves the world. Instructor Eduardo Corpeño begins with setting up the development environment and introducing the basic elements of object-oriented programming. Eduardo covers data types such as variables, expressions, assignments, constants, and more. He explains structures, classes, pointers, vectors, and so on. After stepping through the control flow process and a variety of useful functions, Eduardo finishes up with detailed information on opening and working with files.

Get up and running with C++
- [Instructor] C++ runs the world. It is one of the oldest programming languages in use today. And for good reason, chances are most of the computationally demanding software you use like operating systems, console video games, databases for your bank account and social media all had some or most of their code written in C++. You can rest assured that C++ isn't going anywhere in the near future. It'll enable you to create programs that are powerful, dependable, and efficient. I'm Eduardo Corpeno, and I've been teaching C & C++ for over 20 years. And I'd like to invite you to take this introductory course on C++. You'll learn how to write simple programs using the object oriented programming paradigm while using several elements of the standard library. Additionally, you'll create a student record system as a mini project divided in a series of programming challenges. So come join me and let's have fun learning C++.
