Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform III: functions (Coursera)

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform III: functions (Coursera)

This course is the third of five courses aiming to help you to become confident working in the object-oriented paradigm in the C++ language. This specialisation is for individuals who want to learn about objected oriented programming. It's an all-in-one package that will take you from the very fundamentals of C++, all the way to building a crypto-currency exchange platform.

During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console.
In this third course, you will start learning about C++ exception handling and reading data from files. You will learn about string processing, exception handling, data reading from a file, and how to convert pseudocode algorithms into working C++ code.
Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Convert pseudocode algorithms involving iteration, logic and string processing into working C++ code
  • Use exception handling to gracefully recover when processing unreliable data
  • Read text data from a file using the getline function

Course 3 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will be able to convert pseudocode algorithms into working C++ code.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use exception handling when processing unreliable data.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to use C++ built-in functions to read data from files.

Intermediate Object-Oriented Programming for Unity Games (Coursera)

This course is the third course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment.

Mastering the Software Engineering Interview (Coursera)

You’ve hit a major milestone as a computer scientist and are becoming a capable programmer. You now know how to solve problems, write algorithms, and analyze solutions; and you have a wealth of tools (like data structures) at your disposal. You may now be ready for an internship or (possibly) an entry-level software engineering job. But can you land the internship/job? It depends in part on how well you can solve new technical problems and communicate during interviews. How can you get better at this? Practice!
