Series Details

About

Intermediate introduction to C++. Each week we will have 2 sessions. We will start by going over initial setup for running C++ code, then cover a different topic each session. For more difficult material, I may use the second session as office hours, where you may come to ask questions, and I will review more difficult topics. There will be 2 assignments each week covering the topics we discuss so you can practice, and I will review your code. Anybody is welcome, and the compiler is online so there is no need for a specific computer or Operating System. You are expected to have some basic knowledge of programming, because I will not be discussing simple things like variables, or if statements etc.

Tutor Qualifications

I began using C++ 2 years ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed using it for creating a variety of applications.

I notice that most people here are learning Python, Java, or Javascript -- none of which are known for having good performance. So I decided to teach C++, which is usually very fast, and great for learning because it is lower level.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

The sessions are very important to attend, because each one relies on previously discussed content. If you are unable to attend, please message me.

Recordings of the sessions or their accompanying slideshow will be posted so you can review what we went over. Do not use these to skip the sessions, because you will be removed after more than 2 unexcused absences in a row.

You are not required to go to office hours sessions, so they do not count towards attendance.

Session 7

Catchup

New learners, or people who have missed a few sessions or the first session can join, and I will go over some introductory C++, as well as introduce you to the compiler and show the list of videos from previous sessions, and how this series is organized. You do not need to join this session if you are a regular learner, this is catchup for late-joiners and people who missed important information, including people who may have left the series from having questions about early material.
