About the Course

Code and run your first C++ program in minutes without installing anything! This course is designed for learners with no coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just C++, but core Computer Science topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover printing, operators, iteration (i.e., loops), and selection (i.e., conditionals). To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours....

An amazing course for beginners! Everything is stated clearly and easy to understand. Best for Hands-on code experience - thanks to Codio. A wonderfully practical course. Must try!

Please give an option in codio to restart the assignment. This is frustrating to run the whole assignment from scratch due to a typo, which was a mistake.

also please specify whether you expect the output on a new line, expect a new line after the lats line, requirement of spaces, etc.

It is such a vague platform for a beginner to start with.

Great course, easy to follow and instructions were very clear!

The lack of any explanation other than a mechanical execution of instructions makes the course pretty much useless. The content itself is decent, but the slides lack many things you will lose access to once you pass that module

Very well done and engaging; you're learning by doing the whole time. Just be warned that the grading is a bit wonky and pretty harsh; sometimes I would be told that my solution was incorrect despite it looking exactly like a sample solution and providing all the same outputs. Your score for the entire problem will go straight to 0 if ANYTHING is wrong, like placing a period at the end of a sentence you print out when the sample output didn't have the period (which happened to me).

The course was really good and i was able to understand all the basic concepts related to c++ programming language

The material was good but when coming to tests did not hold up. For a basic course you were expected to write your own code with little to no help and use techniques that were barely touched on. I found myself looking back through the notes and my own and finding it very difficult to come up with a solution.

Hard for people to function in the enviorment especially if on have bad eyeshight. Program is not for me. I may not continue from here. I will look for a better C++ course to inroll in. PS keep your turtle graphic and stick to the basic fundementals.

Good course overall ! I was looking to refresh and enhance my knowledge on C++, and this course was quite helpful in the process. Interface is also good and Turtle examples were brainstorming ideas. Highly recommended to any beginners and even intermediates. Only thing lacking was very difficult examples which can really make you sweat hard. Such examples are the ones which test real programmers. But still a 10/10 Course !!!

This is by far the best course ever. At first, I was concerned by the lack of videos when I started but to my surprise, this was the perfect way to teach a beginner like me. I am also a person who takes time to grasp basic concepts, but this was just perfect, every nitty-gritty is clear, no need to go in circles. It is worth all the time and effort and I will continue learning and fish all the courses in the specialization.

Such a great course, I 100% recommend it. I use Coursera a lot now because I found my motivation, but I honestly have always been kind of put off by how much the courses tend to lean on video lectures, which isn't a great way for me to learn. I'm so happy to have found such a well designed hands-on course. I will definitely continue to search out Codio courses for whatever relevant subjects I can find.

Excellent course that taught me the foundations of C++, I enjoy being able to go back to previous lessons and review content I was not confident about! The only issue is that sometimes completed assignments don't update immediately, but a little patience and troubleshooting solve it all. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn some C++!

The concise explanations and the pace of the content were spot-on. The practice plans and exercises did a fantastic job of tying in the new concepts and "landing" these through direct practice. Have recently completed a University computer science course covering C++ and can honestly say Codio has been a far more intuitive and effective learning approach.

Best course for C++ beginers as it has very great practice exercises it helps very much to remember concepts. I never learned any programming language by just reading I usually watch videos but in this course, concepts are written in very simple language and with code written blocks.I suggest if you take this course you won't regret it.

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TILL NOW I HAVE FOUND TO TEACH ANY CODING LANGUAGE. THE TEACHING METHOD IS VERY SIMPLE AND THE CONCEPTS ARE EASY TO LEARN. I AM VERY THANKFUL TO COURSERA AND CODIO FOR AIDING ME WITH THIS COURSE. IT HAVE ENORMOUSLY UPGRADED MY SKILLSET AND THIS WILL BE VERY HELPFUL TO ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

This course is great. It covers selection and iterations in an amazing way. You can learn topics from basic if you are a beginner but even if you already know about the topics, there are some interesting concepts in the course that help you learn something new. Overall a great course.

I really love how the course is setup for hands-on practice rather than to follow some specific videos. It is because the hands-on allow us to play with the code and test out. We got immediate feedback and it make you want to try it out again to get it right.

This is how every course needs to be designed...full of hands on instead of providing videos is the best approach of learning that is taken by codio...full star from my side...loved this course s much..

Great Course! The instructors explain everything about the basics of C++! At first i couldn't understand why i failed the graded exercises but after a while i understood why! Great course nonetheless!

A great hand-on course for beginers to learn C++.

Very easy to follow and practice thanks to its online teaching platform.

It would be better if some review videos could be added in this courese.

Designed in very intuitive and modern way, free of unecessary jargon. It delivers the required logic bang on! Must go through this course, once in a while, to brush up your skills.

This is an amazing supplemental course to take alongside early level college classes. If you can make it through this then any level 1 c++ college course is going to be a breeze

While this course is self-paced which makes it convenient for learners to gain knowledge anytime, the exercise will test your understanding to make sure one is really learning.

Help me understand the from fundamentals to OOP of C++. Beside that, these four courses also help me reinforce my skills from very beginning! Thanks Coursera, Codio!
