Hello! I just enrolled in this course today.

Objective: To learn C++ for admission to MFE programs

Programming experience: Basic in Python, MATLAB, Mathematica

Current work: a senior college student majored in Math

Intended pace of program: hope I can complete the course by the end of this year
 
Hi peeps! Hope you're all doing great, taking time to introduce myself, and hopefully, we'll all learn from each other in this exciting journey.

Background: Finance, MBA, completed all three levels of the CFA Program.

Objective: Learn C++ and this seems to be a very strict curriculum!
Programming: Python
Current Work: Risk Management Associate in a rotational program at TD (currently in Wealth-Credit & Market Risk)
Intended Pace: Nov/Dec but C++ seems a little less user friendly than Python :S

Really excited to start this, and hope to hear from you guys soon!
