I'd like to give the members some quick outline on the online C++ course we will introduce this Summer
Goals
The goal of this course is to introduce the C++ language to those students without programming experience. This is a hands-on course and it consists of a number of modules, each one dealing with a specific topic in C++, Each module is accompanied by small ‘quizzies’ to test if the general theory has been understood and by more extended programming exercises in which you are expected to program in C++ and produce a working program. The compiler and environment used is Visual Studio because of its ease of use but other C++ compilers are also acceptable.
This is the ideal preparation because it deals with the essential topics that are needed before progressing to more advanced applications in computational finance.
Prerequisites
No programming experience is required in order to follow this course. The course has been structured in such a way that you learn C++ from the ground up.
