C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

The C++ Programming for Financial Engineering course is the best way to rapidly become a proficient C++ developer. You gain the type of deep intuition that has otherwise been abstracted away in higher level languages and actually learn core concepts that allow you to take your skill set to an entirely different level.

There's also plenty of opportunity to gain additional knowledge from the cohort of students on the forum as well as the amazing support provided by your TA (APalley). His support is far superior to anything I've ever received and truly proved to be ""the difference factor"" in terms of being able to learn deep detail about C++.

The lecture videos by Dr. Duffy, as well as the homework, do a fantastic job and decomposing the learning process into smaller self contained chunks that continually build upon each other. By the time you complete the course, you'll be amazed at how much you actually learned and how much you enjoyed doing it along the way.

You should note that this is a course for those serious about becoming a C++ developer. There is a lot of work and the final is extremely difficult; however, both of these are good things when you really want to make the most of this program and learn as much as you can.

Again, thank you so much to APalley for his always patient, thoughtful, and thorough explanations to my many questions throughout the course. I can't wait to take the Advanced course!

I think this course is really helpful and provides lots of insight into not only C++ programming but also its application to Computational Finance.

Very concise course with a lot of help from TA, that were top notch in terms of availability and eagerness to help

This is a very good and comprehensive course. With different levels, I can build up the confidence and learn the Knowledge easy and quickly. Also with the help of TA and the forum, I never feel alone during the journey of learning. I get much more than I expected. Much appreciate!

I think the quality of this course is great. This class meets my goal of learning C++.

The course has very high quality and provides me with a chance to have a very solid understanding of C++ languages and help me a lot to step into the quantitative finance industry. Really thanks to QuantNet as well as Baruch College for providing students without programming background like me to get to know more about computational finance.

Great course. I've definitely learned a lot in the process. The TA and the forum have both been super helpful and responsive. The homework is challenging enough to really encourage students to think through the concepts and their proper implementation.

I learned C++ through this course and am fairly comfortable with it.

1) good and organized contents
2) prompt response from TA

I come from a software development background, but have been out of touch with hard-core development for nearly 5 years now. I wish to get back to development especially Quant Dev. As such the C++ programming for FE has been a very good course for me to refresh my C++ fundamentals and has helped me to build a very strong base for learning the more advanced concepts of Modern C++. The accompanying exercises are the most valuable parts of the course as without proper hands-on pratice exercises, understanding the concepts would have been very difficult. The forums for each exercise were very helpful and insightful. The TA support was impressive as well.

The course is a really good intro course which gave me a structured learning experience about C++ programming.

It is a very good experience! The only thing that I think can improve is the media player software, it would be better if we can adjust the speed when we watch the course video.

I think this course offer me a great chance to learn more about C++ as well as its application in the field of financial engineering. I've learned a lot.

The course is excellent as a whole, especially Level 9, which is rather difficult but extremely useful I guess. It involves multiple financial applications. I think the course well meets my original goal (learning polymorphism, template, STL, Boost, etc.)

It does meet my original goal for taking this cpp course.

The course is great. I learnt a lot about C++11 and improved my programming ability.

The quality is high and it meets my original goal to understand basic knowledge about C++

The high quality of this course is very impressive. The syllabus is very inclusive and the homework is challenging( including lots of programming practice), which is great and helpful. What's more, TA is very responsive. Feedbacks from TA and forum are very helpful during this learning journey. To conclude, I really learned a lot about C++ programming and enjoyed this experience.

Generaly the content of this course is perfect, especially for OOP beginners. I have learned Python, Matlab, R and have been working with them for a while, but this course still gives me a lot of insights about OOP, GP and good coding habits. I am gonna pursue a career on buyside where a solid understanding of basic knowledge of C++ will help me very much. So it happened to be a great experience to study with fellows on the perfect course forum.

This course has covered the whole spectrum of Object Oriented Programming, as well as combined with entry-level financial engineering knowledge near the end. It is self-paced and versatile. The workload is just right, and you should be able to know most of the concepts in OOP. Great course!
