C++ Online Programming Course Testimonials

The most unique part of this course is its close alignment with the financial application. I mean there’re lots of C++ courses and books all over the world and internet for many years, and QuantNet C++ can teach the fundamental OOP and combine it with actual financial application.

I took this course to strengthen my C++ fundamentals and understand more about its application in the financial sector. The structured assignments and hands-on projects were extremely helpful in building both my understanding of C++ concepts and problem-solving ability. I particularly appreciated how the course focused on real-world applications relevant to quant roles.

I found this course through QuantNet while looking for a way to improve my C++ skills for finance. As a math major planning to enter quantitative finance, I realized that C++ is still an important language in the field. I chose this course because it has a very practical and structured curriculum, with great support from the TA.

During the course, I learned a lot not only about C++ syntax, but also about how to structure real financial engineering projects. The assignments helped me build strong foundations, and the final project brought everything together. It was sometimes challenging, but very rewarding.

Thank you for the great learning experience!

I found this course when first applying to Baruch's MFE Program. I had some coding experience, but not with C++, which was specifically required for admission into the program. For students who do not meet this requirement, Baruch recommends this QuantNet course, stating that its certificate would meet the C++ requirement. This, and later learning that it is relatively well known / respected course, I decided to take it.
As I was taking the course, I was pleased with most explanations on the topics, including a general idea, perhaps a tangible analogy, and then some utility and examples. I was also happy to see the lots of sample code provided to us so that we may experiment and play with already working code. I also appreciated the suggestions throughout regarding other texts / resources for more information on whatever topic in question.
In general, it was a very informative course, with easy-to-follow lectures and interesting, albeit occasionally difficult, quizzes and homework assignments.

I had a great experience taking this course. I came with a background of having taken two C++ introduction courses in college, and took this course to fulfill the requirements for the CMU MSCF program as well as to learn more about the applications of C++ in the field of quantitative finance. I think it was very rewarding -- it was a good refreshment of C++ basics for me, I learned more advanced techniques in C++, and I found the Level 9 Applications Module especially interesting and useful as it's my first time learning to write financial engineering programs in C++. Also, I'm very thankful for the TAs' help and feedback throughout the course. It was a very Great experience overall, though sometimes it took time to think carefully and look through the forum to figure out a great answer and it was a little hard to navigate stuff in the beginning. I would definitely recommend the course to those who want to pursue a career in quant finance as well.

As someone without a proper programming education (took business as bachelors), the course proved to be very challenging. But it was through the constant struggle and many hours of practice, I feel that it elevated my understanding in programming as a whole, not just in C++. I took the course to prepare myself for MFE, and I am glad to say that it built a good foundation for me. I recommend the course for those who are serious about understanding the fundamentals of C++.
