The Complete C++ Developer Course

Welcome to The Complete C++ Developer Course – fully refreshed for Summer 2025 with brand-new content, modern projects, and updated tooling! Why Learn C++? C++ remains one of the most powerful and in-demand programming languages in the world. With over 4 million developers using it and average U.S. salaries exceeding $100,000, C++ continues to dominate fields like game development, high-performance systems, finance, simulations, robotics, and more. C++ gives you full control of system resources, powerful performance, and mastery over both low-level and high-level programming. Why This Course? - This course is designed for beginners and anyone looking to build real fluency in C++. It’s hands-on, challenge-based, and focused on building both your confidence and competence through projects, quizzes, and carefully explained concepts. - You’ll learn not just the how, but the why behind the code—from the fundamentals of variables and loops to advanced concepts like object-oriented programming, dynamic memory, file I/O, the Standard Template Library (STL), and even custom data structures. What's New in the Summer 2025 Refresh? - All-new HD recordings with clearer explanations and cleaner code - Modern C++ features and updated IDE setup for Visual Studio and VS Code - Streamlined pacing and improved structure - Refined practice challenges in nearly every lecture Sample Projects in this Course Include: - Area Calculator – Using constants, arithmetic, and formatted output - MoreArrayFun – Populating and printing arrays using traditional and range-based loops - TwiceNumbers – Using the STL array class with calculated values - VectorPractice – Inserting, removing, and iterating over dynamic vectors - Employee Salary Report – A modern file input/output project using real-world scenarios - Student Roster Generator – Handling and organizing student data with file processing - Movie Genre Preferences – Frequency counting using map or unordered_map - Language Translator – Implementing a mini dictionary-style program - Crop Hybridization Simulator – Applying random number generation and probability - Drone Fleet Tracker – Managing a dynamic list of drones with object pointers - Exception Lab – Practicing try/catch blocks, custom exceptions, and input validation Who's Teaching This?
