About This Course
Master the C and C++ programming language with easy to understand examples
This course is an introduction to the C and C++ programming language. The C programming language has spurred many language developments since its invention by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s. Many modern programming languages owe their syntax to C. C is still a very popular programming language after over 40 years. C++ is based on C, but extends the language with features such as function templates, namespaces, and (of course) classes.
In this course, we'll explore the C and C++ programming language. We'll start with data types of C, then quickly dispel the mystery (and fright) that surrounds C's most powerful element, the pointer. Understanding pointers first allows us to grasp the underlying nature of arrays and structs, parameters passed by reference, and many other things hidden by other languages but exposed in C.
Then we will move to streams in C++ , which simplify input and output a great deal.
Here's a brief list of what you'll learn:
C Topics :
C++ Topics :
Primitive data types and variables
How to create and use namespaces
Basic I/O in C++ using streams
File input and output using streams
Function templates - a look at writing generic code
Classes and objects
Constructors and Destructors
Inheritance (Single and Multiple)
If you've been thinking about learning C and C++, then this course is a good first step.

Watching the way Rick laid out the whole video in one big sheet of code, commented out and then in in a ladder type of fashion. That is impressive alone! How many courses have you seen that that much thought is put into the lessons code? That speaks for itself, I want to have Ricks courses, the mind behind it is an artist.
