This course presents the C++ programming language for programmers who already have some experience programming in another object-oriented language such as C#, Java, or a similar language. The course focuses on the differences between C++ and other languages, specifically on C++’s lack of garbage collection and the requirement for manual memory management. The course covers the basics of C++ data types, its core data structures, and also presents some of the more popular aspects of the C++ Standard Library.
