Extremely enjoyable C++ course for quants
I really enjoyed the C++ Programming for Financial Engineering course. The material was clear, well structured, and the assignments were both challenging and rewarding. I took this course to build a solid foundation in C++ for quantitative finance, and it definitely helped me achieve that. My TA, Avi Palley, was extremely supportive throughout the course and always available to help with any questions or doubts.

Great course. Taking C++ for Baruch MFE admission
I had a great experience in the course and hope to be able to put what I have learned into practice. I found out about this course after completing other Pre MFEs earlier this year. I am interested in applying to Baruch's MFE program, which requires a C++ course or certification. Since during my time in college, I never had a course fully taught in C++, I was told that I should take this certification to satisfy the requirement.

Great C++ course for MFE programs
I took this course because I am going to apply for some MFE programs and enhance my financial engineering background. I found it by friend's recommendation and knew it would be a great course because it's provided by Baruch College on QuantNet. The learning experience is great! My C++ programming skills got enhanced and I have also gained practical knowledge in its utilization in Financial Engineering.

Getting C++ skill to get into Baruch MFE
I decided to take this course because I plan to pursue a Master’s in Financial Engineering in the U.S. and eventually work and live there. Since Baruch’s MFE program is one of the top programs in this field, I wanted to start preparing early by building a strong skill in C++ for quantitative finance.

Exceptional C++ Course with Great Structure, Guidance, and Community
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the C++ course. The structured content and well designed exercises provided a solid foundation and helped me develop a deeper understanding of programming concepts. I would especially like to thank my TA, APalley, for his consistent guidance, prompt feedback, and patience throughout the course. The forum community was incredibly resourceful, it offered an enormous amount of direction, discussions, and shared knowledge that greatly improved my problem solving approach.

This course not only strengthened my grasp of C++ but also taught me how to approach problems the right way, by understanding underlying concepts and learning from others’ perspectives. Overall, it was a truly valuable and eye-opening experience.

Exceptional for mastering C++!
The Quantnet C++ for Financial Engineering course is exceptional for mastering C++. It significantly deepened my understanding of C++ concepts, particularly in low-level design. The support from Professor Dr. Daniel Duffy and teaching assistants Avi Palley and Paul Lopez was outstanding.

Completing this course has boosted my confidence in my C++ skills and equipped me to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.

A Highly Valuable Course That Builds a Solid C++ Foundation with Real Quant Finance Applications
I found the course to be very important and valuable for me to learn to code in a language I had no experience in before. I had done object-oriented programming but it has been quite a while since that I had done that. Lastly, the Black-Scholes, FDE, and Monte-Carlo simulation exercises at the end were very useful applications of what I learned in the course to quantitative finance. In short, I highly recommend the course for those who want to get a solid foundation in C++.
