About the Course

This course is for experienced C programmers who want to program in C++. The examples and exercises require a basic understanding of algorithms and object-oriented software....

I liked it, it costed me a little because I am not a C programmer with big experience, and this course I feel is focused on C programmers that want to know how to "translate" their code to C++

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.

It accomplishes the main goal: help with the leap from C to C++, but:

- It's damn slow. I had to use the 1.5x or 2x speed all the time, and I'm not native English.- The format of the slides is really ugly (e.g., those bullet points in the code)- No lecture notes are provided- The references are to his (expensive) books instead- No source code of examples is provided either- Graph theory is interesting, but out of scope. Waste of time for those who already know it are not interested in and just want to learn C++. It would be better to provide references for optional reading or reviewing.

I really like the professor and his style, he is clearly knowledgeable in this field BUT:

- lectures slides often show code over multuple slides, not properly formated, no coloring. It's very hard to follow

- I learned much more about graph theory then about C++ in the course and especially HW3 is just a farce, it takes so much time and was not covered well in the class

- why not provide code examples or more worked-out code snippets as downloads to start from and/or have as a reference

i must admit that i thought i would gain some more basic knowledge on c++

some namespace discussions , oop , special pointers etc.

the exercises were hard but... no real grasp of the c++ advantages.

i don't think i'll enroll to part B at this moment but im sure am encouraged to keep on learning this language also because of this course, and that's the reason for the third star i gave.

I thought at first according to the title of this course, that it should be an intro for c programmers. But it is more like a brush-up for already c++ programmers. Be ready to take some other course or reading parallel. Otherwise the homeworks are absolutely interesting and suitable for new-comer. It would be better if more videos with more details could be made.

The course was ok. I don't feel it was a C++ course but more a graph theory course. The material was a little bit disorganized, there are topics that could be addressed in just one video, but the teacher talks about the same things over and over again.

Too much focus on implementing Graph algorithms and too little about actually learning C++. The homework assignments time allocation (2 * 2 hours) is by far not enough to be able to complete the assignments.

In starting the course it's explaining two algorithms and its very difficult for to understand and complete the assignment.

overall the course is amazing.

It's a bit slow and some parts seem to be out of order based on homework assignments. But I did learn a lot of C++ stuff.

Week 2 assignment is surprisingly difficult to solve and it is too complex to solve compared with the rest of the course.

please start from basic basic things.we have to do study in deep.Time required complete assignment is more.

The course presents the topics in a non-linear manner. It should be called "Learning graphs with C++"

sir,is very experienced person in this field but also too old to teach such complecated lesson.

It was very good for as a beginner but this will be better if it is practical in the software
