Learn By Example: C++ Programming - 75 Solved Problems (Udemy.com)

Pros: content is generally helpful Cons: some lectures are tediously long and unnecessary, instructors can be extremely repetitive, for example from lecture 53 to 57, a total length of 50 mins is devoted to explain the concept of class inheritance(no coding involved at all), I'm not sure why the creators of this course think someone knew how to program in C needs 50 mins to grasp the concept of cat belongs to mammal, mammal includes cat.

I'm primarily using this course to review. Certain pieces of information that are delivered are slightly vague and not completely accurate. For example, "anytime you need to create an array of any type, just use new []". Technically, you can create an array using new[], but based on the wording, you don't have to use new[]. It could just be a fixed array and thus allocate on the stack rather than dynamically on the heap. In this sense, the vague shortcut type of language doesn't exactly explain well when to use one over the other and simply states "just use new[]". This somewhat sloppy language was demonstrated in many other portions of the video. Aside from that, the presenter gave clear conceptual explanations of many of the concepts.

This is the first time I comment on Udemy because this course is simply fantastic. It's meant for programmers who already know how to code and want to jump into C++. Most courses waste your time with syntax variables and while loops and leave you wondering how C++ is any different, but this course actually teaches you the fundamentals of C++ and its most important parts. What I really liked about this course is that the instructor, clearly very experienced, knows what matters and what to leave off, because the language is humongous and can quickly get you lost in details and make you forget the big picture. Instructor also knows exactly what trips up programmers when they first approach C++, addresses concerns quickly as they arise and further advises you on how to avoid the language pitfalls. Overall, I am glad I found this course, I can now at least read source code written in C++. I hope the instructors make more courses like this or start a series and add more advanced features of the language, I will gladly pay for it! Thank you very much for quality content!

I haven't used C++ in a while, so though of taking this course as a refresher. Pros: 1. Explanation of the concepts is clear 2. Many a times the authors self cite their contents for reference 3. Stick to few examples and tried to explain every details connected with it. 4. Almost all of C++ topics are covered Cons: 1. I found the course presentation is super slow The con didn't hurt me much as I sped up to 1.5x. In short, nice course to grasp lot of concepts. For beginners, the amount of explanation done, sometimes, could be too much. So, it will make sense once you implement on your own and go through the videos once again. For intermediate users, it could be a great place to get answers to a lot of whys' in C++. Thanks!!!

First off, the course is an awesome summary of the main features of C++. Thanks for putting it together. Second, these are the good things: + Touches all the commonly encountered usage patterns in C++ + The teach-by-example is an awesome idea! Third, these are the things I would probably add: + Inheritance and templates require the most concentration. So, some additional examples would help re-inforce the concepts. + I would pay for a separate course just for using the STL apis for data structure and algorithms....another commonly encountered topic in C++ Thanks once again for the course!

Cplusplus is a horrible language to understand, and this makes it difficult to learn. This course covers it in EXCRUTIATING detail, but with extreamly clear and well chosen examples; covering the language, its oddities, and its horrors. It also includes some mention of C, which helps explain how Cpp 'developed'. However, the presentation can seem a little slow, and the graphics a bit crude. but this is a small price to pay for such clarity of content, and in the long run the best way to deal with a tangled mess is methodically. Easily the best Cpp course I've found.

I took this course expecting to learn some really interesting examples of C++ coding. I didn't. The complex number code and the name code and the shape code were the only examples used over and over throughout the lectures. In the end, I don't feel that I gained as much experience with C++ coding examples as I thought I would with the title claiming as such. I enjoyed the lovely voices of both teachers and felt they were very knowledgeable. On my part, I copied and worked out every example. However, now, having finished the course, I cannot say I have grasped the basic reasons for using any of the most important objects in C++ ie. pointers, references, const, et al. If I redo the course, do I feel that – because of the density of the material – I would find more to help me? I don't think so. I actually feel that no matter how many times I repeat the course, I will still be left with the feeling that I'm missing something that would help me bridge my creative mind to the intellectual underpinnings of C++ code. Thus, I still have no idea how to proceed with all I've learned, except by seeking out other teachers who may offer my creative mind the inspiration and examples to program what I want.

One of the best online courses I've taken. I haven't completed the entire course yet, but that's only because I'm using it as a supplement to what I'm currently covering in my university programming courses. But, the instruction here is far better than what I'm paying for at school. Excellent job! I know some people have mentioned the repetition and lack of code writing on screen, but there's a reason for both. As far as the repetition, if you want to understand all of the concepts then you have to get the explanation of why things work the way they do and how they fit in with other things. I've found that with some parts of C++, such as operator overloading, it takes several times of repeating certain points before they make complete sense. The presenter does an excellent job of explaining concepts and seems to be extremely knowledgeable. And as far as the coding on screen bit, gaining an in depth understanding the concepts is far more useful than watching code being typed out. If you want to see that, I'm sure you can find videos on youtube. Personally, I greatly prefer the deep explanations of the concepts to seeing someone typing out code and not really explaining why things work the way they do. After I finish my university course this term, I'll go through and complete this course in its entirety. I also plan on purchasing the C course from Loony Corn. As, a matter of fact, I'd feel comfortable buying any of the courses they offer.

Great course. This is really helping me not only to recollect and revise the stuff I worked long back but in fact getting a better understanding. I tried going through the theory but that did not help much. Am example based approach is really helping . I will update the feedback further as I proceed. Adding further after completing more chapters- I stand by what I said earlier. Even in case of complex topics like Virtual functions and inheritance, the manner of explanation along with logical breakdown of concepts has helped me a lot.

This course has the target spot on. People with some experience in programming (C, C#, Java, JavaScript) and want to learn C++. This language is full of little details and gotchas, and this course is excellent at explaining them! I feel like I am learning and understanding C++ well. Whenever I get confused, the lecture always seems to acknowledge what is confusing, and follow up with counter example or elaboration. It always seems to surprise me with something interesting, or a different perspective. Possibly it is because C++ is by nature, a really complicated, powerful language with lots of corner cases. I really feel like a much stronger programmer now, and worry that I will begin to hate every other language because C++ has a lot more flexibility in someways. Not to say that I don't dislike C++, because there are certainly things I learned about that I dislike very much (e.g. multiple inheritance, ick!). This whole course is well put together, and certainly has a bit of humor too. I've kept this course on 2x speed the whole time. Good job!
