1
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,760
Hello and welcome to beginning C++ programming.
2
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:13,660
Thank you very much for enrolling in this course and placing your confidence in the Learn Programming
3
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:19,120
Academy team and in me for your training. In this video I'd like to introduce you to the course.
4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,350
But first I'd like to introduce myself.
5
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:25,160
My name is Frank Mitropoulos and I'll be your instructor for this course.
6
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:27,380
You can read more about me in the course bio.
7
00:00:27,690 --> 00:00:31,710
But I want you to be sure that I will do everything I can to make sure the course content is correct,
8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,700
relevant, understandable, and hopefully fun.
9
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:38,310
I've been a University computer science professor for many years.
10
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:44,310
I've also worked in industry as a programmer, software engineer, and project manager. I've taugh thousands of students
11
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:50,700
in both academia and industry how to program using many programming languages but C++ is my favorite
12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,090
language to teach.
13
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,700
I first learned C++ back in 1988 and I've used it ever since.
14
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,930
That's quite a long time ago and C++ has evolved greatly since then.
15
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:03,170
I'm very excited to teach this course.
16
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:07,320
I hope you're also excited about learning C++ in this course.
17
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,160
I assume that you're completely new to C++.
18
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:15,070
I also assume that you have little if any programming experience with other programming languages.
19
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:17,580
If you do have programming experience that's great.
20
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:23,640
This course is still for you since you'll definitely learn C++. The course curriculum has been developed
21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,260
in a way that introduces new topics in a specific order.
22
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:32,970
I encourage you to follow along one section at a time and before you know it you'll be writing C++ programs
23
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:35,890
that solve problems. In this course.
24
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:38,690
I'll cover modern C++.
25
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:43,350
I'll talk more about just exactly what modern C++ is as we go through the course.
26
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:48,350
But rest assured that you'll be learning C++ as it should be used today.
27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Over the years I've worked with many many students and I can only remember a few that just didn't get
28
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,470
programming.
29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,480
I still think that if they tried a little harder then program it would have clicked at some point.
30
00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:02,490
If you're new to programming you will at some point in this course feel frustrated.
31
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:03,990
This is perfectly normal.
32
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:07,330
Programming is a skill that must be learned and practiced.
33
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:08,920
Do uou play a musical instrument?
34
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:11,850
Do you remember what it sounded like the first time you played?
35
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:15,740
Do you remember wanting to smash that guitar or a piano because you just couldn't get it?
36
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:16,850
Programming is similar.
37
00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:19,150
You must practice and practice to get better.
38
00:02:19,260 --> 00:02:22,440
If you get frustrated take a break and try again a bit later.
39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,510
Remember we've all been there.
40
00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:29,760
I still remember the first program I ever wrote it was back in 1980 using a programming language called
41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,510
Fortran 77.
42
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:36,900
I was so excited that I was able to program a computer to do exactly what I wanted it to do.
43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,520
The program was pretty simple.
44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,980
It asked the user for an amount in US dollars and then displayed how many quarters, dimes, nickels, and
45
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:49,320
pennies it would take to add up to that entered amount. We'll do the same problem in this course.
46
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:51,790
I also remember that it took me a couple.
47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,970
OK maybe more than a couple of attempts before it was correct but man what a great feeling when it ran
48
00:02:56,970 --> 00:02:59,120
correctly!! In this course.
49
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,580
each section ends with a challenge exercise.
50
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:06,570
These will help reinforce the concepts presented in the section to help in learning the material.
51
00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:08,980
Once you finish the challenge don't stop there.
52
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,920
Challenge yourself.
53
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:14,590
Come up with similar problems on your own and solve them. Then do it again and again.
54
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:15,440
Make it fun.
55
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:17,150
Make the problems silly if you want to.
56
00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:20,220
It doesn't matter it's all about practice.
57
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:24,310
Finally if you have any questions at all please ask them in the forums.
58
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,730
I will personally monitor the forums and respond to questions. Before you post though, browse the already
59
00:03:29,730 --> 00:03:32,660
answered questions since your question may already have an answer.
60
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:34,370
Well enough talk.
61
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:36,090
I look forward to working with everyone.
62
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:37,900
Let's start learning C++.
