Datasim has a number of C++ courses, depending on the background level. If you tell which one I can get some feeback from students who took/take my courses dduffy ATT datasim.nl


Posting questions regarding contents and style as well is fine as far as I am concerned. What you prefer.

"I am currently pursuing BFE, I want to know if C++ and its application in finance can help me. "

This particular course starts the fundamentals C++ (and a bit of needed C), OOP and builds on toward inheritance, templates and STL. At the end we do pricing using Monte Carlo, lattice and PDE models. And a few useful design patterns.

You can view the videos/audios, get the source code and books. I even help with a project if you wish to do one.

I've read that C++ is used extensively. However, I think this is a mistake and a legacy of the past. Having coded in C++ 10 years ago at an advanced level, it is really a dated and lower level then needed for anything that is not time critical. Although it benefits from universality.

I would recommend to learn it but C# is a better language. Many universities still teach Java which I think is far less useful then C# or C++.

I don't think this is very accurate. Would you care to explain?

C# is Windows stuff that competes with Java. If we work on Linux/Unix platform, standard C++ is still the best choice.
