Straight forward and to the point.
By Tomas Justesen on 8/28/2017
Probably the best beginner c++ course I've tried, very clear explanations, with many important tips to become a better programmer and I like the lab exercises alot, because the best way to learn is to try and do some challenges yourselve
By Matt Oliver on 10/13/2016
These lessons are well done, they are very understandable, they explain what they are doing without spending any extra time or repetition in nu-necessary places. This is 100 times better than the college lessons I took. I'm learning the terminology and all the necessary tools to start development in c++ (I'm familiar with many other languages already(

The instructor is clearly a subject matter expert. For lessons 1 to 30, he taught at a reasonably slow pace suitable for beginners and introduced new terms and concepts as he used them. However, after about lesson 31, he began speeding up his presentation and began using terms and concepts that were not introduced before they were used.

So far, the instructor seems to just tell you what to do as opposed to providing even basic explanations of why you're doing it or what it is you're really doing.

This is a great course for those that are just starting in C++ programming, I would recommend to watch all given lectures at least twice in case there is any misunderstanding and/or confusions . Thanks WilmerR

I am about halfway through the course and i am learning a lot. The only problem i am having is that there are no answers to the Exercises. I think it would have helped if he updated the course putting the correct code for the exercises in it. Besides that it is a great course!
By Theodore St Shenouda on 5/24/2015
Easy to follow, well Explained, I always look forward to learning more, and there is no pressure to perform, I can go back and review at anytime. I look forward to future courses to expand my knowledge and understanding, best of all it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to learn.
By Michael Hebert on 9/1/2014
I am most of the way through and the course has been great. I like that each logical section also has an attached lab that is difficult enough to make you think, but easy enough that I don't get stuck. My only regret is that there are not more students and discussions, but I'm sure that will come.
