C++ is often called the most popular general purpose programming language. This course will teach you what C++ is, what it is used for, and how it is different from other programming languages.

Because C++ can be used for so many different things, it can be challenging to see all of it. In this course, C++ 20: The Big Picture, you’ll learn to evaluate whether C++ is the right language for you. First, you’ll explore the problems modern C++ solves well. Next, you’ll discover the C++ ecosystem. Finally, you’ll learn how to leverage the C++ standard library. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of C++ needed to understand when and where to use this powerful language.
