Here you will learn how to setup linux and get your c++ environment setup.
You do not need linux to program in C++ but we do recommend it. If you are sure you do not want linux you can skip this step but you may have trouble following the course. Installing linux will not break your current system and it can be installed on a virtual machine if you prefer.
Here you will learn how to create your first C++ program. A simple program that outputs "Hello World". Further throughout this lecture you will then create your first function that sums two numbers together and returns the result.
You will learn the basics of what a function is and what the "main" function is.
In this lecture you will learn about header files what they are and will learn the basics of the C++ preprocessor. You will also create a header file of your own and include it into your main program. You will learn about function declarations also.

If you are someone with no previous programming experience or someone with programming experience and would love to learn C++ you have come to the right place. In this course you will be taken through the baby steps of C++ and learn about functions, header files, datatypes, arrays all the way to more advanced c++ concepts such as classes, structures, pointers, macros and memory and in just over four hours your experience will flourish.
You will also learn about Makefiles and how to use them as well as how to use the compiler G++. This will allow you to write code without the assistance of an IDE which is normally essential with C++ when developing open source projects so that you can give the programmer who uses your code freedom on how he or she wishes to compile your project. I recommend the code editor Visual Code when writing C++.
After this course you could be considered to be a decent C++ developer.
I have programmed in C++ for a long time and have created my own programming language's which I wrote the compiler and interpreter for in C++. I am sure you will be happy with this course.
