Jumping Into C++

Want to learn to code? Want to learn C++? Struggling to follow your lecturer or books and tutorials written for experts? You're not alone. As a professional C++ developer and former Harvard teaching fellow, I know what you need to know to be a great C++ programmer, and I know how to teach it, one step at a time. I know where people struggle, and why, and how to make it clear. I cover every step of the programming process, including:

Getting the tools you need to program and how to use them

Basic language feature like variables, loops and functions

How to go from an idea to code

A clear, understandable explanation of pointers

Strings, file IO, arrays, references

Classes and advanced class design

C++-specific programming patterns

Object oriented programming

Data structures and the standard template library (STL)

Key concepts are reinforced with quizzes and over 75 practice problems.
