| Sumario: | 6+ Hours of Video Instruction Overview C++ Without Fear LiveLessons provides a gentle introduction to C++ for new programmers as well as people with experience in languages such as BASIC. The course helps the new programmer get up to speed as quickly as possible while understanding the C++ way of doing things. Description Brian first takes the new C++ programmer through the successful installation of Microsoft Visual Studio, Community Edition. Then, starting with the simplest C++ programs possible, he introduces the building blocks of programming as they are used in C++: variables, loops, control structures, strings, pointers, and then finally classes and objects. At each stage, he explains these concepts in simple, concrete terms and how they add immensely to the power of a program. Above all, by emphasizing the “C++ way” of doing things, he helps even the newest programmer start to quickly look like a C++ professional! About the Instructor Brian Overland, author of ten successful books on computer programming, has been programming in C professionally since the 1980s and programming in C++ since the 1990’s. During his ten years at Microsoft as a Project Lead, he managed documentation for Macro Assembler and was one of the project leads of Visual Basic 1.0, in which he took on the task of explaining a new programming model to a whole generation of GUI programmers. He also has decades of teaching people one-on-one in math, writing and computer programming‚Äìall of which gives him unique insights into the challenges of explaining complex ideas in simple ways. Skill Level Primarily beginning and beginning-to-intermediate. What You Will Learn How to install and run C++ on Microsoft Visual Studio, Community Edition New features of C++11 and C++14, such as ranged-based “for” How to effectively use pointers, strings, vectors, and arrays How to use C++ shortcuts, just like the pros The “why’s” behind language features such as pointers, classes, and objects Who Should Take This Course People who are new to programming generally as well as people who know a language such as Java or Basic, but have (until now) found the prospect of C++ intimidating. Fear no longer! Course Requirements Familiarity with personal computers Some familiarity with the most basic concepts in programming‚Äìsuch as variables and programming environments‚Äìis helpful though not absolutely required Lesson Descriptions Lesson 1: Installing and Using C++.
