C++ Online Certificate Students' intro thread

[hasty_horse]

Hi everyone, I'm from Australia. Feel excited to join a community that is centred around the good stuff i.e. programming in particular and quant in general.

Objective: To learn C++ for admission to MFE programs and for opportunities that may arise between now and then or after MFE. I plan to finish both the C++ and Advanced C++ course, and I can't wait to get to the 2nd course!

Programming experience: Python/SQL (3+ YoE), R. I love optimising code and always try to look for ways to make code run faster, but I guess Python itself isn't enough to capitalise on opportunities in the quant space.

Current work: Python developer

Intended pace of program: Just finished Week 3 of the first course. Planning to spend at most 10 days for any given week.
