C++ Programming 1: Introduction to C++

C++ Programming for the Beginning or Intermediate Student

In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of programming and the basics of the C++ language. As the first course in the four-part C++ Programming Certificate Series, this course covers everything from the different variables types to getting input from a user, arrays, and functions.

Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education.

From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own C++ programming-based projects. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.

Introduction to C++ covers topics including compiling, variables, math, input/output, conditional statements, loops, arrays, and more.
