C++ remains a powerful language for systems programming and high-performance applications, and AI tools now make learning it more accessible than ever. This course introduces C++ fundamentals while demonstrating how AI can support your coding process, from generating ideas to debugging real-world programs. You’ll begin with print statements, variables, decisions, and loops, each reinforced through hands-on projects such as a receipt generator, a step tracker, and a meal planner. As you progress, you’ll use AI to refine code, spot errors, and understand best practices while exploring data structures, functions, and error handling. The course concludes with a capstone “Budget Tracker” app that simulates real development workflows. By the end, you’ll be able to build complete C++ applications, apply AI effectively in your coding tasks, and create portfolio-ready projects that demonstrate your skills.
