This free online course will teach you how to write fast programs using the advanced techniques of C++ programming.

This course will first introduce you to references. You will learn about inheritance and creating classes that inherit behaviour from other classes. You will also learn about polymorphism and its similarities and differences to overriding functions. You will then study RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) and pointers, including their similarities and differences to references. You will learn how to dynamically allocate storage to your objects and use a Try-catch block. You will also learn about exceptions, copying, assigning, and destroying objects.

You will then study the features of the Standard Library (STL) and learn about creating templates. You will learn how to vector a container for storing elements of the same type, and about using functions that C++ STL provides to make coding your project easier. The course will also cover lambdas and their usefulness as parameters of another function, as well as the different types of applications that you can write for in C++.
