This is the first programming course offered in university. I remember spending that one winter break reading a C++ book and being excited when I wrote my first ever program. I have thoroughly read the book and solved many practice problems, which is why I ended up getting an A without attending the lectures. If you want to learn programming, or anything for that matter, find the best resources and invest your time and money into it.
Prerequisites
None
Recommended Book
Problem Solving with C++ 10th Edition by Walter Savitch
About this Course

- What is the best way to learn from this course?
You can adjust the video playback speed according to your preference. I would advise you to keep it at x1 for normal lectures and at x1.5 for the quiz solutions and practice problems. Also, try to challenge yourself by solving the practice problems alone, then compare your code with the solution.

- Does this course cover data structures?
No. Data structures is a course by itself, which universities usually offer after completing an object oriented programming course.

What’s next?
You can expect a more advanced programming course, which focuses on object oriented programming (OOP). This programming style or model is widely used in the software world in fields such as game development, web development, mobile app development, and much more.
