Learn C++, ten minutes a day.

C++ is fast and demanding: it is the language of game engines, of software that has to be quick, and of many computer science courses. People say it is hard — broken into small steps, it is much less so.

What you’ll learn

The course moves through 4 units, from the very first line to complete programs. Each topic is explained in three sentences, then practiced.

Unit 1

The bare minimum

A first program
Variables and types
Reading from the keyboard
Calculating

Unit 2

Text and decisions

Strings
Logical conditions
Conditions
else and switch

Unit 3

Loops, arrays and functions

The for loop
The while loop
Arrays and vectors
Functions

Unit 4

Memory and objects

Passing by reference
Pointers
Structures
Classes

Workshops, not just exercises

At the end of each unit, a workshop has you build a real little program, step by step:

The program that counts
The secret number game
The mark book
The character sheet

Who is it for?

You are aiming for game development, computer science studies, or you want to understand what happens close to the machine. We start with the very first program.

And then?

This course covers the basics of C++. By the end, you can read code and write small programs. To go further, the next step is a real project on a computer — and you will have the foundations to dive in.
