Description
Welcome to one of the unique programming Bootcamp experiences you will ever get. The most critical difference between my course and others is

Going beyond knowledge: With me, you get really skilled.

The course covers basic to advanced modern C++ syntax. Beginners in C++ will learn a lot!

The course helps you master the 4 most important skills for a programmer

Programming skills

Problem-solving skills: rarely covered by other courses

Project building skills: partially covered by other courses

Design skills: rarely covered by other courses

7+ times practice & homework compare to other courses + 6 projects

Special Teaching style: iterative, easy, and short

This is an English Course only.

Content

Basic to advanced modern C++.

Fundamentals: Variables, Loops, Control Flow, Functions, Recursive Functions, Arrays

Advanced Topics: Pointers, STL, Templates, Headers, and Includes, Exception Handling, Compilation Process, Debugging

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Operator Overloading

Modern Topics in C++11/C++14/C++17

Move Semantics, Perfect Forwarding, Variadic Template, Folding expressions, Smart Pointers, Lambda Expressions, Wrappers (Optional, Variant, Any), Uniform initialization, noexcept, Structured Binding, Nested namespaces, misc.

OOP: Member initializer, Defaulted and Deleted Functions, Delegating constructors, Inheriting Constructors

STL: Forward list, Initializer list, Array, Unordered containers

Design: Several principles and patterns are embedded in the homework & projects

A huge set of Quizzes, Practice, Homework, and Projects

2 styles of homework: Algorithmic (problem-solving) and applications

Several software design concerns are embedded in the homework.

So you are getting introduced to Software Engineering & Design Patterns

Several quizzes to master the concepts

Building Skills: Practice, Homework, and Projects

One unique feature in this course is my education strategy

Explain, Administrate & Challenge

Each video smoothly explains a simple concept(s)

Typically followed by easy to medium practice to administrate the concept

Then typically followed by an easy-medium-hard set of homework questions to challenge you

Extensive homework from easy to medium to hard to help to build the skills.

Most of the practice/homework questions are unique in this course

Programming questions are mainly from my competitive programming experience

OOP questions are mostly invented to achieve several goals

Mastering the OOP concepts

Enforcing a lot of design heuristics & OOD

Preparing you for design principles and patterns

Small-to-large set of projects to build up project building and design skills

Solutions to all of them.

Special Teaching style

In this course, I teach several concepts in 2 rounds

Early in the course, only the mandatory concepts/syntax are explained

Then you practice a lot to master them!

Later at an appropriate time, you will learn the remaining details

Short and to the point

In a few minutes, I cover clearly what many others need 2-3 times to explain

By the end of the journey

Solid understanding of programming concepts using C++

Mastering the target 4 skills

With the administered problem-solving skills

You can start competitive programming smoothly in Div2-A/B Codeforces

Smooth start in Data Structure course

Smooth start in Algorithms course

With the administered project-building and design skills

Smooth start in Software Engineering course

Later, smooth start in one of the technology tracks in frontend or backend

More career options such as games or embedded development.

What are the common complaints from programming courses?

Limited topics coverage.

Outdated syntax.

Unnecessary long videos with repetitions.

Too much time to explain basic concepts.

A sudden jump in the level. I can't cope with the content.

Assumptions of previous knowledge to understand some of the concepts.

Building over concepts that were not mastered through practice or homework.

The same examples are used over and over.

Several consecutive lectures without practice or homework to master the concepts.

Awesome knowledge, almost zero skills.

Very little practice or homework.

Good homework in the first half and very weak in the remaining.

Many homework without solutions.

Only one project.

Small-size project.

Long but tedious project.

The project doesn't help enforce the concepts.

Project source code is not provided. I needed to compare and learn.

Moving to Datastructures or Algorithms course was not easy. Weak problem-solving skills.

After the course, I am still stuck and can't do even simple projects. Weak project-building skills.

The course taught OOP syntax and concepts nicely, but OOD skills are not built. Weak design-skills.

And more!

In this course, not only the content and skills are unique and added value, but also the whole experience to avoid as possible the above concerns and much more! Even if you attended a C++ course, my material will be an added value, especially its homework and projects.

Don't miss such a unique learning experience!
