The Complete Carbon Programming Course

Get excited about the new Google programming language!!
Last updated 12/2025
English

What you'll learn

  • The foundations of Carbon
  • Control Statements and Arrays
  • Functions and Classes
  • 3x Practical Projects

Course content

4 sections25 lectures3h 3m total length
  • Section Overview4:20

    Explore the basics of Google's Carbon programming language, its relation to C++, and learn to use an in-browser compiler like carbon godbolt.org to master variables, data types, and output.

  • Variables, Data Types and Output16:07

    Master the basics of variables, data types, and printing in Carbon, including booleans, i32, and strings, with practical examples of var and let, and simple if-else.

  • Operators16:43
  • Tuples8:16

    Explore Carbon tuples, a heterogeneous composite type that stores different data types, declare and access their elements by index, and modify them, with name info and prints.

  • Pointers7:24

    Discover how Carbon handles pointers, including the address of and dereference operators, nullable pointers via optional, and the absence of pointer arithmetic.

  • Project 1 - Pointers and Tuples4:33
  • Section Wrap Up1:09

    Master foundational carbon programming concepts, including variables, constants, data types, and operators. See tuples and pointers in a project and prepare for control statements.

Requirements

  • Some knowledge of C++ or another high-level programming language

Description

Carbon is a new, experimental programming language from Google that is designed to build on and be compatible with C++.

Designed as a successor language to C++, Carbon looks to advance C++ in the same way that Typescript updated JavaScript and Kotlin improved areas of Java.


PLEASE NOTE: This language is still very young and experimental, and is still not at the point for general software development. This course has been created to introduce students to Carbon in its current form. As the language continues to grow and develop, this course will be further expanded.     


So why should students explore Carbon now?

  • Learn about language design

  • See how we are tackling specific challenges

  • Learn about compiler design

  • Learn about tooling beyond compilers

  • The language will be familiar to anyone with some knowledge of C++

  • This is the cutting edge! Carbon is still an experimental language that's growing, so users have the chance to contribute to and feedback about it to Google!  

  • 'Carbon ... is a promising alternative for C and C++ for systems programming, and for Rust for safety and performance'

This 3 hour course is a brilliant introduction to Carbon and, as the language develops, so will this course! A v1 version of the language is expected in 2024, and Codestars will be adding more updates and new content as and when the language expands further.

At the end of each section is a Section Project which draws together everything you've learnt in the section. The three section projects are a great way to practice what you've learnt, and test yourself with a challenge! 

This course is for anyone new to Carbon, or programmers who are interested in tackling a new experimental language from the ground up.

Happy coding! 

Who this course is for:

  • C++ coders looking to move to the next level
  • Rust coders keen to explore alternatives for safety and performance
  • Coders who want to be at the cutting edge of a developing language
  • Anyone new to Carbon!
