C++ Programming Course

Welcome to the complete C++ programming course, taking you from zero to hero. This course covers everything you need to know to become proficient in C++ programming, from installation and setup to advanced template metaprogramming and the standard library.

Getting Started with C++

Before you can start programming in C++, you need a compiler and text editor. In this lesson we cover {content}.

C++ vs C Comparison

C++: OOP, templates, STL, exceptions, namespaces
C: procedural, simple, closer to hardware
When to use C: embedded, kernels, performance-critical
When to use C++: applications, GUI, large systems, libraries
Compatibility: most C code compiles with g++/clang++,
but not all (strict aliasing, type safety differences)

Next: RAII Resource Management
