Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform V: final system (Coursera)

Offered by University of London, Goldsmiths, University of London,
Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform V: final system (Coursera)

This course is the fifth 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 fifth course, you will complete the crypto-currency exchange platform. You will learn about modelling real-world entities as a class, the use of static vs non-static functions, and create a wallet class for the final version of the crypto application.
Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

  • Use object interactions to achieve complex functionality through a simple command sequence
  • Explain how to model a familiar real world entity as a class with data and functions
  • Decide when it is appropriate to use static or non-static functions

Course 5 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • By the end of the course, you will have a fully functional crypto-currency exchange application.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to understand the use of static and non-static functions.
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to explain how to model a familiar real-world entity as a class with data and functions.

Syllabus

How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? This is an intermediate Java course. We recommend this course to learners who have previous experience in software development or a background in computer science, and in particular, we recommend that you have taken the first course in this specialization (which also requires some previous experience with Java).

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.
