C is as essential as ever. This powerful language lies at the heart of JavaScript and Objective-C and is a popular language for developing embedded systems. This course teaches the fundamentals of programming in C, covering four introductory aspects: code structure, data, program flow, and functions. Instructor Dan Gookin dissects the anatomy of C, shows how data is stored in variables and values, and demonstrates how to use operators to perform math, modify variable values, evaluate expressions, and more. Then you can see how these basic elements fit together in control structures like loops-where the real logic comes into play. Finally, you can learn to use and write functions, the workhorse of the C language, which help accomplish basic and complex tasks in the code, eliminate repetition, and make code more readable. Make sure to take the challenges issued throughout the course to test your new programming skills and compare your solutions with the instructor's. (less)

Learn C++ programming, starting with the basics. Widely used for both systems and applications development, C++ is available for virtually every operating system and has influenced and informed many derivative languages, including C# and Java. In this course, Bill Weinman guides you through the nuts and bolts of this essential language. He helps you set up your environment for coding and dissects the anatomy of a basic C++ program. He reviews the essentials-statements and expressions, variables, conditionals, operators, loops, and functions-and moves on to more complex topics, such as data structures, classes and objects, and templates. Along the way, Bill explains concepts such as recursion, type casting, and operator overloads, and dives into the powerful container classes and algorithms in Standard Template Library (STL). These exhaustive tutorials provide a solid C++ reference for both experienced programmers and those who are brand new to the language. (less)
