Have you always wanted to create console video games, but lack the basic C++ skills? Do you want to understand a more "heavy-duty" programming language? Do you really want to get "under the hood" and complete more complex computing tasks quickly? Do you simply want to advance your current skill set and learn one of the world's most popular programming languages?

C++ is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It's used for everything from financial trading applications (where speed equals revenue!) to console video games.

This class is an introduction to the C++ programming language for those who are already familiar with C syntax and some basic principles of object oriented programming. C++ is based on C, but extends the language with characteristics like function templates, namespaces, and (of course) categories.
