About this Program

Even with the rise of more modern programming languages, C++ remains one of the most popular languages in the world. C++ code is platform-independent and found in every operating system in existence. Developers who are fluent in this language can produce a variety of applications for embedded systems, mobile devices, robotics, games and more.

This three-course certificate program will teach you the best practices of professional-style coding of production-level code. You’ll learn high-level object-oriented programming skills and gain valuable experience by developing and testing C++ programs, including object life cycles, implementation of polymorphic object hierarchies and development using the C++ standard coding guidelines.
