In this C++ bootcamp you will:

Learn C++, a high-performance programming language used in the world’s most exciting engineering jobs — from self-driving cars and robotics, to web browsers, media platforms, servers, and even video games.

Advance one’s blockchain skillset to the second generation of blockchain services with smart contracts utilizing the Ethereum network.

Meet the growing demand for C++ and master the job-ready skills that will take your career to new heights.

Get an edge with human support

Work with a mentor, career coach, and more. They have your back and will hold you accountable.

Verify skills mastery

Project review cycle creates a feedback loop with multiple opportunities for improvement—until the concept is mastered.

Verify skills mastery

Learning accelerates as skilled mentors identify areas of achievement and potential for growth.

What will you learn

Get hands-on experience by coding five real-world projects. Learn to build a route planner using OpenStreetMap data, write a process monitor for your computer, and implement your own smart pointers.

Finally, showcase all your newfound skills by building a multithreaded traffic simulator and coding your own C++ application.

Prerequisites

To optimize your chances of success in the C++ Nanodegree program, we recommend intermediate knowledge of any programming language.

C++ Foundations

Learn how to develop, compile, and execute C++ programs as well as syntax, functions, containers, and how to link together multiple files.

PROJECT
Route Planner
In this project, you will use OpenStreetMap data and the IO2D visualization library to build a route planner that finds a path between two points on a real-world map.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Learn to build classes, interfaces, and generic templates to create an object-oriented C++ program. Learn how modern C++ includes many tools for writing clean, reusable code.

PROJECT
Process Monitor
The system monitor shows you what’s happening on your computer: processes, id, CPU and memory usage, and much more. In this project, you’ll write object-oriented C++ to build a Linux system monitor similar to the widely used htop application.Work with instructors step-by-step to build a cloud-connected Android app. Blending theory and practice, learn how to build great apps the right way.

PROJECT
Sandwich Club
Build a layout and populate its fields from data received as JSON. This short first project will help prepare you for upcoming projects in the program.

PROJECT
Popular Movies, Stage 1
Build a simple movies app that communicates with the internet and provides a responsive user experience. In this project, you’ll fetch data from the Internet with the MovieDB API, use adapters and custom list layouts to populate list views, and incorporate libraries to simplify your code.

Memory Management

Learn to control static and dynamic memory in C++ using the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization pattern, pointers, references, and move semantics. PROJECT Memory Management Chatbot Put your memory management skills to the test with a Memory Management Chatbot. This chatbot answers questions about C++! Your task will be to optimize the Chatbot code using modern C++ memory management techniques such as smart pointers and move semantics.

Concurrency

C++ supports running multiple execution paths in parallel. Learn how to launch process and threads in order to execute logic in parallel. Then advance to thread synchronization and communication, to experience the full power of concurrent programming. PROJECT Concurrent Traffic Simulation Build a multithreaded traffic simulator using a real urban map. Run each vehicle on a separate thread, and manage intersections to facilitate traffic flow and avoid collisions.
