TOP REVIEWS FROM C++ FOR C PROGRAMMERS, PART A
It is an awesome course to move to c++ from C . Includes all the essential elements needed in C programming.\n\ni.e the best course available to learn C++.
Great course. People who have knowledge of C but are new to OO programming should definitely take this course. It would not hurt to include more exercises in the course.
Just right for programmers seeking to update their skills to the new V11 C++. I recommend getting the book by the author that helps along with a text or Coursera course on Algorithms.
was good to learn c++ advanced topics after learning the basics at my high school. it had some very essential topics that dealt with too much innovative coding. It was good learning experience.
About the Coding for Everyone: C and C++ Specialization
This Specialization is intended for all programming enthusiasts, as well as beginners, computer and other scientists, and artificial intelligence enthusiasts seeking to develop their programming skills in the foundational languages of C and C++. Through the four courses — two in C, and two in C++ — you will cover the basics of programming in C and move on to the more advanced C++ semantics and syntax, which will prepare you to apply these skills to a number of higher-level problems using AI algorithms and Monte Carlo evaluation in complex games.
