54 hours of video instruction. Includes Modern C++ – C++20, C++17, C++14 and C++11 – with a look toward C++23 and C++26.

Overview

C++20 Fundamentals with Paul Deitel is a code-intensive presentation of C++, the world’s most popular language for building high-performance business-critical and mission-critical computing systems.

Description

Intended for programmers with a background in another high-level language, in this video course, you’ll learn Modern C++ development hands-on using C++20 and its “Big Four” features-Ranges, Concepts, Modules and Coroutines. In the context of 200+ hands-on, real-world, Deitel live-code examples, you’ll quickly master Modern C++ coding idioms using popular compilers-Microsoft Visual C++®, GNU® g++ and LLVM®/Clang clang++.

Skill Level

Beginner to Intermediate
[Updated in 2024] Before You Begin – Get the source code; set up your system for C++ development on Windows, MacOS or Linux; get preconfigured Docker containers; Paul’s contact info.
[Updated in 2024]Lesson 1 – Test-Driving a C++ Application – Compile and run a C++ program using Microsoft Visual C++® (Windows), GNU®g++ (Windows, macOS & Linux), and LLVM®/Clang clang++ (Windows, macOS & Linux).
Lesson 2 – Intro to C++ Programming – C++ fundamentals; input/output; fundamental types; arithmetic, equality & relational operators; if statements; using objects of standard library class string.
Lesson 5 – Functions and an Intro to Function Templates – Custom function definitions; declare functions with function prototypes; key C++ standard library headers; random-number generation for simulation; scoped enums for defining named constants; C++20’s using enum declarations; digit separators for more readable numeric literals; inline functions; references and pass-by-reference; default arguments; overloaded functions; function templates; recursion; scopes of identifiers; encryption/decryption case study.
Lesson 6 – arrays, vectors, Ranges and Functional-Style Programming – C++ standard library class template array; declare, initialize & refer to array elements; range-based for statement; pass arrays to functions; common array manipulations; visualizing array data; sorting; searching; using built-in standard library functions to process arrays; multidimensional arrays; C++20 Ranges & functional-style programming (filter, map, reduce); C++ standard library class template vector.
Lesson 7 – (Downplaying) Pointers in Modern C++ – Fundamentals of pointers; pointer declaration/initialization; address-of (&) and indirection (*) pointer operators; pointers vs. references; pass-by-reference with pointers; built-in pointer-based arrays; pointer-based strings; using const with pointers & the data they point to; operator sizeof; pointer expressions & pointer arithmetic; nullptr for pointers to nothing; begin& end library functions; C++ Core Guidelines for avoiding pointers; techniques for avoiding pointers, including C++20’s to_array function and C++20’s class template span for views into built-in arrays, std::arrays & std::vector
Lesson 8 – strings, string_views, Text Files, CSV Files and Regex – More string-processing features; numeric conversion functions; string_views (lightweight views of contiguous characters); write & read sequential text files; reading & writing quoted strings; string stream processing; raw string literals; Titanic Dataset Data-Science Case Study: Reading and manipulating CSV files; Regular Expressions Case Study: Searching strings for patterns, validating data and transforming data.
Lesson 9 – Custom Classes – Fundamentals of object-oriented programming; define a custom class and use it to create objects; member functions & data members; data encapsulation with public member functions & private data; constructors for initializing objects; separate a class’s interface & implementation; dot (.) and arrow (->) member-access operators; destructors for “termination housekeeping;” create objects composed of other objects; friend functions & friend classes; this pointer; static data members & member functions; structs for aggregate types; C++20 designated initializers for aggregates.
Lesson 10 – Object-Oriented Programming: Inheritance and Runtime Polymorphism – Traditional and modern inheritance idioms; implementation inheritance vs. interface inheritance; base classes & derived classes; runtime polymorphism with virtual functions; override keyword; final on functions & classes; abstract & concrete classes; virtual functions “under the hood”; interfaces & dependency injection.
Lesson 12 – Exceptions and a Look Forward to Contracts – Use exception handling for robust business and mission-critical C++ applications; try, catch, throwand the exception handling flow of control; exception safety guarantees and noexcept; stack unwinding & uncaught exceptions; assert macro; failing fast; a look ahead to contracts.
Lesson 13 – Standard Library Containers and Iterators – How containers relate to C++20 ranges; I/O stream iterators; use iterators to access container elements; vector, list & deque sequence containers; use ostream_iterators with the std::copyand std::ranges::copy algorithms; set, multiset, map & multimap ordered associative containers; ordered vs. unordered associative containers; stack, queueand priority_queue container adaptors; bitset “near container” to manipulate bit flags.
