If you're a college student, you might find there is a wide gap between your prof and yourself. When your prof explains things, it just doesn’t quite make sense. Something doesn’t sit right. This course is about filling that gap and clearing those questions in your mind. If you’re struggling to follow in your introductory programming course lectures, try this series out to supplement your learning.

Overview

Programming is that notorious college freshman subject that everyone finds extremely hard. But it doesn't have to be that way.

In this course I explain the very basics of C++ programming. I explain core C++ concepts using slides. We also will write sample programs, and I explain every line of code used, every function called, and leave no line of code unexplained.

I developed the material in this course after several iterations of an introductory programming course. The result I now present to you is a combination of careful deliberation about how to explain a topic, and incorporating student feedback to respond to student needs.

If you've had trouble understanding the very basics of code before, what it all means should be very clear to you after studying this course.

When you are finished with this course, you should have a very solid foundation in C++ upon which to build other skills.

Once you understand the basics of programming and you've programmed for a while, it's almost inevitable that you will catch the "programming bug": you will not be able to stop programming!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
