C++: From Beginner to Expert (Udemy.com)

The course is great. You will learn quite a lot. However, it starts to show its age a bit. So, if you want to learn about code you will find in existing code bases, this is great. If you want to learn how to write code the "Modern C++" way, this course might not be for you. There are a few modern features explained but not so many. And then there is stuff, you should not write anymore, like C-style casts. ... But again. You will find them in existing code, so it might be good to know them. Also, the quizzes could use a bit of QA. Some questions and some answers are a bit fuzzy, meaning, you might know what answer is supposed to be the correct one and you will pass that question by selecting that, but technically more than one or just another answer is actually correct. Then there is the main() without the return type. I think this goes back to C89 and was changed in C99. Leaving out the return type of main() works only on Windows when using MSVC as your C++ compiler because Microsoft never bothered to update the underlying libc ... As far as I know, main() without the return type has never been correct C++. Also, the AI role plays did not work properly for me. I selected text-based interaction but then, my microphone was requested. Then the AI read all the source code, which was horribly formatted and it always stumbled over the syntax and made several seconds pauses between two words ... Not sure, might be something on my end but it felt weird struggling through the role plays due to these things. There is still lots of positives in this course and it is worth doing. Especially if you have an older code base in your company you want to get familiar with.

The course is overall quite good: it covers a wide range of concepts and the explanations are clear and easy to follow. I appreciated the amount of content and the logical progression of the topics. However, around the halfway point the course stops offering knowledge-check quizzes, which makes it harder to validate what you’ve learned as you go. Additionally, the presentation style doesn’t feel very professional. The videos have no slides at all—just a constant view of the code editor with the instructor speaking over it. On top of that, the instructor often refers to the variables as “guys” and frequently uses expressions like “bla bla bla” while explaining concepts, which can make the material feel less polished. Overall, it’s a decent course that delivers useful information, but the teaching style and lack of structured assessments prevent it from feeling like a fully professional experience.

Excellent course, was using it as a personal refresher after a bit of a programming hiatus. Definitely clarified a few things that were maybe over explained to me when I was learning C++ in college (probably cause it overlapped a lot with my other courses in C). Good lessons on the more common libraries for C++ as well. I'm sure folks will suggest a ton of others to include, but if I had to suggest an advanced one for fun, multithreading would make an interesting lesson. Only critique is the audio, it may have been the way the microphone was set up, but the voice volume definitely lowers over the course of each video. Not a huge issue, the sound is still clear, I just found myself adjusting it a lot in the middle of lessons. No notes other than that! Highly recommend this as a start to C++.

Clear, concise, and perfectly done. all the information required to become a good C++ programmer is there to be found in this course. The course is comprehensive detailed and well explained. It contains everything required to get you started as a C++ programmer from basic object oriented programming to creating your own classes and libraries. However I would like to state that if you are taking this course expecting to immediately churn out desktop and mobile applications then you are not in the right place since this is mainly focused on developing console applications. Programming is an intricate art containing many subjects it would be a fallacy to expect all of it in one course even then he has a lecture advising on how to develop further after finishing this course. thank you sincerely for this course :).

When I started this course I had 0 experience with coding in general and didnt know the first thing, so I decided to give this course a try. I am very impressed, it moves quick enough to stay engaged but at the same time the repetition on the content learned it very well done. For english speakers it was a small challenge to follow in some parts but at those points a quick google search or asking a question in the question forum and you where on your way. I also am impressed at the instructor getting back to me when asking a question, I was skeptical that he was going to get back to me because of how old the course is and he got back to me in a reasonable amount of time with a direct and understandable answer. The instructor also helped me with some direction after I finished the course. Overall 5 stars, this course is great.

The course gives a good introduction to the C++ thinking. The concepts are clearly explained, Arkadiusz relates them to the real world applications and makes it in a fun way. The course is well structured, with sufficient exercises to do your own. I think that even experienced programmers have a good usage of learning the way of handling the memory, which is naturally completely different (in Python this is not the case, sadly). So these concepts were important to me, and the instructor explains them clearly. Another positive side is that the instructor shows recorded exercises which is a good practice. In this way, one can easily follow what is happening. Great course, definitely recommend to anyone trying to get a grasp of C++!

This course is really great for beginners. Before this, I was floating around for youtube tutorials, and I saw this in an ad! I'm so glad. The instructor does a great job of showing you how these techniques apply in the real world, common programming practices and the exercises are amazing, especially the last few in which he ties in all of the previous learning. I have watched some of his videos many time more than once, and had to do a little extra research to fully understand, but the video points you in the right direction. He answers all questions properly, and offers advice for future. I do wish that the subtitles were a bit better, as at times his accent can be a bit hard to understand! Overall, no real complaints.

This is a good course for beginners to C++, after going through that materials, C++ generally seemed simple and fairly uncomplicated to me. The simplicity of programming logic is largely dependent on the instruction. This is because programming in a computer is not naturally intuitive. It is just a lot of you receiving instruction and then feeding the computer back instructions. My only criticism for the instructor was that I did not think course was really enough for the student to think they were an expert after completing it. this course introduces you to C++ programming logic, but does not go into the science of debugging. Zero time is spent studying error messages, nor is any software actually built. However by the end of this course you will probably feel confident that you know enough to go to one the several C++ websites on the internet and start plunking in code from the library and stitching it together until you have created, 'something'. The student will have to practice a lot, outside of this course if they expect to be a good C++ programmer.

Disclaimer : This review is based solely on my experience and personal opinions which I hope not to offend anyone. There were a few negative comments in the reviews on the voice of teaching, teaching speed and course content. As I have completed the entire course, I feel that I can give a complete and honest feedback. The English pronunciation of the Mr Arkaduisz may not be crystal clear but it is definitely clear enough for anyone to understand him. His teaching speed is extremely comfortable as well and if you really need to slow down, use the speed adjuster in your GUI. The course content was also constructed in a smooth and systematic flow, I was able to relate from one section to another smoothly. To share on my learning pattern, I followed the course content tightly, section by section, lecture by lecture. I wrote my own notes and I analysed the purpose of each program code. When I had any difficulties understanding them, I looked up on stackoverflow or quora before asking Mr Arkadiusz and clarified with him after. He was extremely responsive and dedicated teacher, he never fails to response to you within 24 hours or even way less than that. TL:DR - In conclusion, I learnt a lot about C++ syntax and Object-oriented programming concepts from this course. It was a great experience. Apart from coding the plentiful amount of exercises provided by Mr Arkadiusz, if you want to further utilize this skills, there is a great need to code more as suggested in the last video. I would like to give A big Thank-You to Mr Arkadiusz. Best regards, Chang

I'll keep this review brief but i will highlight a few details. first i will say that i do have a learning disability (Mild Retardation) so i will high light only the areas that i got from the get go and a few areas i got lost in. first i will say that the videos are easy to understand and easy to follow along. this course serves as a good basic platform to start learning C++, however i do personally recommend getting some outside material as in some areas there are a few gaps in some information. loops as my example. while the loops are demonstrated quiet well the instructor didn't talk about for what kind of situation would it be best to use a specific loop. also it is recommended by myself that the student should also read about object orientated programming (what it is, how common it is, how vital it is , and it's use in computer programming ,and to try and see additional example code to see how big it can be). beyond this the course is really informative. the instructor was willing to answer my questions and shared some personal though and opinion. the example code is well explained and presented, the exercises are challenging and often require you to reflect on your morals and expand your learning to other websites and books. for me specifically this has been a terrific introduction to C++ 4.5 out of 5 stars. just a few small gaps in information but something that is easily corrected by cplusplus.com and wikipedia.
