Brian Overland – C Without Fear

Description

Brian Overland – C Without Fear

C++ Without Fear LiveLessons provides a gentle introduction to C++ for new programmers as well as people with experience in languages such as BASIC. The course helps the new programmer get up to speed as quickly as possible while understanding the C++ way of doing things.

Brian first takes the new C++ programmer through the successful installation of Microsoft Visual Studio, Community Edition. Then, starting with the simplest C++ programs possible, he introduces the building blocks of programming as they are used in C++: variables, loops, control structures, strings, pointers, and then finally classes and objects. At each stage, he explains these concepts in simple, concrete terms and how they add immensely to the power of a program. Above all, by emphasizing the “C++ way” of doing things, he helps even the newest programmer start to quickly look like a C++ professional!
