Name: C++ Fundamentals for Professionals
Author: Rainer Grimm

Learn C++ from scratch, and get a handle on one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

Add a deep mastery of C++ to your skillset, and make yourself a more in-demand developer.

Part of the C++ Learning Path

C++ is a common first choice for software developers when optimal performance and high safety are necessary. Learning the rich core language and the many libraries, however, can be a neverending story. This course has one goal: ending that story.

This course is a combination of new material and material pulled from my other C++ courses, giving you all the most crucial information in one place. You will learn the necessary information you need to be a professional C++ programmer, including the current C++17 standard. You’ll explore memory management, inheritance, templates, vectors, threads, tasks, and much more. Once you're done, you’ll have all the necessary skills to take advantage of the potential of C++ in your day-to-day work.
