C++ Tutorial for Beginners - Learn C++ in 1
Hour
C++ Programming Language
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in the
world. It is the language of choice for building performance-
critical applications, such as video games, device drivers, web
browsers, servers, operating systems, and more. That's why
it's used by large companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft,
Netflix, and even government agencies like NASA.
The latest version of C++ is version 20, with the next version
coming out next year. The average salary of a C++
programmer in the US is just over $170,000 a year.
The Two Things to Learn
To master C++, there are two things you need to learn: the
language itself (meaning the syntax or the grammar of this
language), and the C++ standard library. You need to be able
to learn from the C++ standard library, but you also need to
learn the language itself to master it.
The language itself is a great choice. It has influenced many
programming languages like C#, Java, and so-called "types of
JavaScript" like TypeScript, Dart, and more. It's a great
investment and opens a lot of doors for you to land a job as a
software engineer.
Many people find C++ a bit intimidating, but in reality, you
don't need to learn all of C++ to be able to write substantial
programs. In this course, we'll explore major functionalities in
the standard library, but the library is huge so we'll only
scratch the surface. If you want to learn more, there are books
specifically written on this topic.
Using an IDE
We use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which is
basically an application that contains an editor for writing code
as well as build and debug tools. We'll explore how you can
write some really cool programs as you're learning C++. I'm
going to give you plenty of exercises to help you better
