In this 5-course specialisation, you will develop various C++ programming skills. Rather than building many small programs as you will in other courses, we have taken a different approach: you will create a single, extensive program through the five courses. The program will be a simplified cryptocurrency exchange platform. We will cover the following learning objectives:
Use control flow to build interactive, multi-branched, iterated programs
Select appropriate data types to model the trading platform's information
Convert algorithms from pseudo-code to C++ and test them
Use classes to combine data and functions and to model interactions between different parts of a program
Understand how to construct an extensive program from multiple modules
The content for this specialisation is taken from the University of London's online BSc Computer Science degree. If you complete the courses and eventually take the course 'Object Oriented Programming' in the degree, you progress should be carried across.
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
In this specialisation, you will build a single, large project: a cryptocurrency trading platform. You will build the program using C++ during five courses. The program runs in the command-line in text mode and it simulates the experience of buying and selling cryptocurrencies. The program works with a real data set representing the order book of a real currency exchange platform.
