C++ Online Certificate Students' intro thread

[JayZed]

Hi everyone, I’m glad to be the 1661st individual person to this living thread

Objectives: Prepare me for MFE programs, fill any programming knowledge gaps, and learn another life skill
Programming Experience: Experience with R, some experience with Python, SAS, SQL, C++
Current Work: Recently graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics, concentration in Statistics. Currently seeking opportunities
Intended Pace: Unsure, I’ve taken Comp Sci 2 in C++ years ago, and it’s been a while since I’ve touched anything outside of Python and R. I think that the ideal pace is one that challenges me enough where I can thoroughly digest the information, but without causing burnout and the need to rush.

Hello everyone

Objectives: Preparing as early as possible for the field I would like to pursue, bridging finance and programming.
Programming Experience: Some Python from university coursework, as well as Racket.
Current Work: Currently a 2nd year mathematics student, intending to take many probability & stats courses, as well as programming courses.
Intended Pace: I intend to take this course at a comfortable pace, given I will likely lack the fundamental intuitions and will therefore, will need to construct a fundamental understanding from the ground up.
