I heard of this course from the forum of my college. I signed up for this course for a better understanding of c++ and it truly did give me better understanding. The video is a little confusing at the beginning, but it's no longer an issue when I get accustomed to Daniel Duffy's style of teaching. I have to say my TA, APalley, is one of the greatest TAs I've ever met. Great thanks.

The course has greatly helped me develop C++ skills, which I'm sure will benefit my professional career. The combination of the enjoyable lectures by Prof. Duffy, the timely assistance received from the TAs, and the community in the forums provides the right environment to learn a complicated topic like C++ and its applications. The structure of the homework assignments, which strike the perfect balance between teaching new concepts and offering challenging problems, ensures that you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

I found the course by chance and decided to take it after researching the reviews. My biggest reason to join is to refresh my C++ knowledge and reinforce the areas that I was weak at (e.g., generic programming). What I like most about the course is how the exercises are structured. The exercises guided me to design something from scratch and add more features throughout several levels. This approach is much better than throwing many exercises that are not connected to each other at course participants.

I found the course very complete, the C++ programming concepts plus the exercises throughout the course gave me the security and confidence to understand them in a deep way and say that I know C++.
I found the course on quantnet and their testimonials convinced me, if someone wants to learn C++ in an accessible and correct way they should take the course

This course was very useful in getting a breadth of understanding of not only C++ syntax and code structure but also general design and programming principles. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend it to other MFE candidates in the future. I would also like to especially thank Dr. Duffy and Avi for the wonderful experience.

Liked level 9 part A. I took this course to help with my career switch from Software Engineering to Quant Developer/Research. I think this course is a good graduate course and on par with other graduate course I have taken as well. However, to truly understand this material I think the student needs to have some form of programming experience and maybe some knowledge of computer architecture to appreciate the content.

I learned the basic syntax of C++, OOP, and the implementation of C++pricing related to financial engineering in this course. I received a lot of help and guidance from the teaching assistant during the process, and gained a lot.

I could tell why the course is famous and recommended by the renowned MFE programs. The homework questions are well-organized and extremely helpful in learning important C++ concepts. Although the homeworks were challenging for me, as a beginner in C++, I found the time investment worthwhile and I believe they will be valuable in pursuing my career in quant finance. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning C++.

I found this course while I was preparing the Baruch MFE application. At first, I just took it as a prerequisite course to help me get into the Baruch MFE. Although I didn't get accepted, I found this course really helpful in providing me with basic/important C++ knowledge as well as its application in Finance. I became more interested in Coding!!! I love it so much. I also want to give a big thank you to TA Avi as she gives detailed comments for every assignment.

The course was recommended to me by a senior in university who previously took it and went on to a top MFE program. Following his steps, I am trying to strengthen my programming skills and prepare for quantitative programs by taking this course.

The course material is comprehensive and TA's response is quick. I feel the forum information is very helpful as well.

This course is great for students who has learned Python and some basic knowledge of programming. Since all materials are very basic and clear, we can follow the course step by step. After each level, there will a quiz to test if you really grasp the knowledge and it is also the key for next level. This design is perfect! Most important is our TA Avi and the good use of forum. Once we have problem, we can immediately find similar questions on forum or we can just post new thread and wait for TA and other students' reply within couple of hours which is efficient.
Overall, the experience is wonderful here!
