What our students say
"I started learning coding two years ago with c language. Unfortunately i didn't find professor Ankit and Harsh and I chose another course which was disaster. ProfessorHarsh is the best because he explains difficult concepts in such a way that makes them understandable. If you don't want to waste your time buy all his courses. He is the best." - Keshav Kaushik
"This is the best course on c++ on udemy. It will clear all your doubts. Instructor is very knowledgable.The way sir teaches concept makes it very easy for anyone to understand.If you want to learn c++ ,data-structure, coding interviews questions take all his courses and save your time".- Rohit arya
"This is the best computer science course I've taken. If you need to learn C++ and pass your technical interviews, this is the course to take. The explanations in the videos are extremely thorough, and I have reached out to the instructor several times on various questions, and he's always quick to respond and very helpful. In my experience, every MOOC that said its instructors would actively help you with problems lied, EXCEPT FOR THIS COURSE. TAKE THIS COURSE!" - Brian Campbell
"This is the best course I have ever taken on C++, the content is in depth and the way of explaining is just amazing, I recommend it to everyone seeks to understand C++ in depth and grasp hard topics like pointers, dynamic memory allocation...etc, In great details".- Wagih Emam
"the guy really knows what he is talking about and he's a real master in his job and teaches so smoothly and i can learn great from it" - Ghasemi
This lecture series is totally AWESOME !!! Loved the way this guy explains everything in great detail. This is my first course on C++ and the teaching methods are very good. Thank you for contributing such a wonderful series of sessions for us." - Kaustubh
"anyone looks for c++ without or with any prior knowledge then i recommend strongley this course. In depth and clear explations." - Manoj
"I'm a Beginner in this area and have seen many courses in C++. And, this is the Fantastic Course in C++ I've ever Seen so Far! What a Clear Explanation from Scratch! Thank you so much brother :)" - Jubeen
"Lecturer goes into depth with visual descriptions that filled in all the gaps I had, he explains in a simple way and repeats difficult concepts both visually and in code which really helps to solidify understanding. You can tell when it's an important concept because he talks in a more excited way and re-explains multiple times from different angles, I love his rhythm of teaching will be taking every course he has." - Jack Clayton
"Amazing content from a great instructor.He breaks down and explains every concept in detail.Highly recommended for newbies like me." - RANDY

I am a software product consultant without any coding knowledge neither an engineering graduate. Kindly give suggestions on where to work(probably remote work from Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, India). I have also enrolled in your course C++ DSA. Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I expected more "coding exercises" at the end of each section, to practice more within this course and I am confused a little with sequence of sections, as few should be sooner than they are in the course, in my opinion, but still I'm enjoying so far. The explanations and examples in videos are deep and understandable, I think anyone could master basics of C++ and coding overall with the help of this course. The teacher is great at explaining things.
By Attila Paucsa on 12/4/2022
The teacher explains everything very well. I am programming since 5 years, but I am hearing a lot of new and important details, and I think I can upgrade from C developer to a C++ developer in this year and I can gain a better job. The only disturbing problem is in te course, that he repeats every new information, twice. Without these repetitions, the lessons would be 2-4 minutes shorter.
By Sachidanand Sharma on 9/17/2022
Thank you so much sir for this wonderful course. It was too good to have such a great teacher in my journey to learn C++. I really enjoyed the course and a bit confident to be able to solve complex problems of coding. This course had helped me a lot. My special thanks to Ankit Sir and Harsh Sir.

The instructor is very descriptive and knowledgeable. I was having so much difficulty learning C++ with other courses, which were of little help. This one was engaging, thorough and thanks to the instructor explaining each of the lessons over and over, it really helped me understand the concepts. I used to be discouraged. Now I'm excited. I will be continuing my studies in C++ and hopefully get a career.

Listen to this Teacher. He knows how to teach. It might be hard to get used to his voice and tone but once you are familiar with him. He is the best teacher for programming I have ever seen so far in my life. He probably struggled when he was learning so he knows exactly how to teach you.
By Palanikannan M on 12/26/2020
One of the best courses for strengthening your C++ fundamentals and even concepts of OOPS. The in depth explanation is so useful(+ the pen tablet method of teaching is a bonus). And the QnA support is really good as well...Instantaneous answers to all questions(within just a couple of hours!)
By Rudolf Wiegand on 11/23/2020
Although there is a great deal of repetition (an excellent idea for beginners), it is a tad over board. On the other hand the depth of coverage through the first half was much deeper than anticipated. He has the course planned out quite well. I am looking forward to the second half.
By Piyush Bhardwaj on 10/16/2020
THE COURSE IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT AND ENRICHED WITH THE QUALITY CONTENT. THE INSTRUCTOR ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUERIES WITHIN NO TIME AND TRULY HELPS IN A GREAT MANNER. LOVED THE WAY HE TOOK US FROM SCRATCH TO THIS LEVEL OF PROGRAMMING . IT HAS HELPED ME TO DEVELOP A REALLY GOOD UNDERSTANDING CUM SKILL OF PROGRAMMING. THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR FOR BRINGING THIS ALL TO A GOOD LEVEL OF SIMPLICITY.
By Ex Tempetus on 6/30/2020
A very active good instructor who answers questions and replies to discussion ASAP! I took half a star off because I feel like some topics need some coding exercises specialized for them like the pointers, bitwise operators, 2d arrays, etc. to truly understand hands-on where to apply them. However, so far so good and I've learn a lot in the past 2 weeks than most Comp Sci students in my Univ whose been taking the c++course for 3 semesters, even though I'm a physics major and only taking this course for fun :)
