Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects (Coursera)

This course is the fourth of five courses aiming to help you to become confident working in the object-oriented paradigm in the C++ language. This specialisation is for individuals who want to learn about objected oriented programming. It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of C++, all the way to building a crypto-currency exchange platform.

During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console.
In this fourth course, you will implement the matching engine for the crypto-currency exchange platform. You will learn about C++ vector iterations, test data to evaluate the matching engine algorithm, and deepen your knowledge about exception handling to write robust code.
Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Write functions that calculate basic statistics by iterating over vectors of objects
  • Use test data to evaluate the correctness of an algorithm
  • Use exception handling to write robust user input processing code

Course 4 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will be able to iterate over vectors of objects.
  • By the end of the course, you will have a good understanding of the matching algorithm.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use exception handling to write robust code.

Programming Languages, Part C (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of programming languages, with a strong emphasis on functional programming. The course uses the languages ML, Racket, and Ruby as vehicles for teaching the concepts, but the real intent is to teach enough about how any language “fits together” to make you more effective programming in any language -- and in learning new ones.

Data Structures and Performance (Coursera)

How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? This is an intermediate Java course. We recommend this course to learners who have previous experience in software development or a background in computer science, and in particular, we recommend that you have taken the first course in this specialization (which also requires some previous experience with Java).
