Udemy C++ : Android

C++ udemy Android app review

Description

This course is good for  beginners, start writing programs in C++, taught by Jeremy Siek, professor at the University of Colorado. No prior knowledge of C++ is assumed.

Like the textbook, the course quickly dives into problem solving and making use of the C++ standard library, including strings, vectors, and lists. The emphasis is on teaching you the parts of C++ that you will most likely need in your day-to-day programming.

This course is Part 1 of a planned two-part sequence. Part 1 covers the first seven chapters of Accelerated C++, in particular, Chapters 0 through 6. The course consists of six videos of 50-60 minutes each.
