Learn features and constructs for C++. C++ for Programmers is designed for students who are familiar with a programming language and wish to learn C++. This course focuses on 'how' as opposed to 'what'. For example, in the lesson on functions, we do not teach what a function is, but rather how to create a function in C++. The lessons are taught by several different instructors who have used C++ in their professional careers, so students get to experience different perspectives.
