[Update Course] Mastering 4 critical SKILLS using C++ 17 | Udemy

Almost all other courses focus on knowledge. In this course, we focus on 4 critical skills.

Overall:

• The course covers basic to advanced modern C++ syntax. Beginners in C++ will learn a lot!
• The course helps you master the 4 most important skills for a programmer
  • Programming skills
  • Problem-solving skills: rarely covered by other courses
  • Project building skills: partially covered by other courses
  • Design skills: rarely covered by other courses
• 7+ times practice & homework compare to other courses + 6 projects
• Special Teaching style: iterative, easy, and short
• This is an English Course only.  1/3 Course now has Manual English subtitles. Remaining under-progress.

Content

• Basic to advanced modern C++.
  • Fundamentals: Variables, Loops, Control Flow, Functions, Recursive Functions, Arrays
  • Advanced Topics: Pointers, STL, Templates, Headers, and Includes, Exception Handling, Compilation Process, Debugging
  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Operator Overloading
  • Modern Topics in C++11/C++14/C++17:
    • Move Semantics, Perfect Forwarding, Variadic Template, Folding expressions, Smart Pointers, Lambda Expressions, Wrappers (Optional, Variant, Any), Uniform initialization, noexcept, Structured Binding, Nested namespaces, misc.
    • OOP: Member initializer, Defaulted and Deleted Functions, Delegating constructors, Inheriting Constructors
    • STL: Forward list, Initializer list, Array, Unordered containers
  • Design: Several principles and patterns are embedded in the homework & projects
• A huge set of Quizzes, Practice, Homework, and Projects
  • 2 styles of homework: Algorithmic (problem-solving) and applications
  • Several software design concerns are embedded in the homework.
  • So you are getting introduced to Software Engineering & Design Patterns
  • Several quizzes to master the concepts
• Clarification: The core intentions of this course to provide very strong introduction to C++. Specifically up to the 6th project. After the last project, the course introduces some further modern C++ syntax (no quizzes/homework in this part). If you are new to C++, there is no course that competes with this one. But, if you are expert or target working with C++ in the market, you will need to good deeper after this course. A useful reference is “C++17 – The Complete Guide” book. Not that, this course provides some C++17 coverage but not all of it. However, the course provides pretty good coverage for C++11/14. Please consider the table of content if you are not new to C++ to satisfy your expectations.

Building Skills: Practice, Homework, and Projects

• One unique feature in this course is my education strategy:
  • Explain, Administrate & Challenge
• Each video smoothly explains a simple concept(s)
• Typically followed by easy to medium practice to administrate the concept
• Then typically followed by an easy-medium-hard set of homework questions to challenge you
• Extensive homework from easy to medium to hard to help to build the skills.
• Most of the practice/homework questions are unique in this course
  • Programming questions are mainly from my competitive programming experience
  • OOP questions are mostly invented to achieve several goals:
    • Mastering the OOP concepts
    • Enforcing a lot of design heuristics & OOD
    • Preparing you for design principles and patterns
• Small-to-large set of projects to build up project building and design skills
• Solutions to all of them.

By the end of the journey

• Solid understanding of programming concepts using C++
• Mastering the target 4 skills
• With the administered problem-solving skills
  • You can start competitive programming smoothly in Div2-A/B Codeforces
  • Smooth start in Data Structure course
  • Smooth start in Algorithms course
• With the administered project-building and design skills
  • Smooth start in Software Engineering course
  • Later, smooth start in one of the technology tracks in frontend or backend
• More career options such as games or embedded development.
