C++ online certificate for MFE applicants

[Daniel Duffy]

Exception handling isn't the part of the syllabus?

Thanks for pointing this out.
It is part of the course, although the essentials (try/catch, throw).
Design of user-defined exception hierarchies is outside scope; but we do discuss STL exception classes.

Any update regarding the grand opening date? :D

 

[Andy Nguyen]

All signs are pointing to beginning of Sept

While there are always work behind the scene, you will see a new Quantnet.com design by then. I'll have the demo, FAQ page up by our grand opening.

 

[Daniel Duffy]

Thanks for all the feedback. I will incorporate your suggestions into the course.

I would suggest that when you create quizzes, think of what kind of C++ questions are usually asked in quant interviews. Some of these questions are to ensure people have the basic grasp of C++.
This way, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Aside from TAs, will there be a discussing forum so people can turn to when they have questions?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Just like ones you are posting on right now
You can send your TA a PM and attach the files for HW. No need to check your emails and you can always have access to your codes 24/7 online.

The 'quizzies' are ideal for these kinds of questions, indeed. They test what you have learned at the syntax level. Some quizzies can be tricky, and some inteviewers can ask tricky questions, so be prepared.

At the next level, we have the more in-depth progamming exercises to convince yourself (and us) that you can compile and run a program. Having done that, the next stage is to start writing small quant apps.

I don't imagine that its a surprise to Daniel that C++ for interviews is really not the same thing as teaching you to program.
As I recall he came to my talk on that subject a few years ago, which for political reasons got called "C++ with confidence".

I had the best seat in the house, unusual for a lecturer, because it was midly fun to watch people's eyes change shape.

Indeed. One is short-term, the other is for long-term skills.

Just testing some video clip. Can anyone play this in their iPad/iPhone/laptop/etc and report any problem with playback?
