In this 5-course specialisation, you will develop various C++ programming skills. Rather than building many small programs as you will in other courses, we have taken a different approach: you will create a single, extensive program through the five courses. The program will be a simplified cryptocurrency exchange platform. We will cover the following learning objectives: Use control flow to build interactive, multi-branched, iterated programs Select appropriate data types to model the trading platform's information Convert algorithms from pseudo-code to C++ and test them Use classes to combine data and functions and to model interactions between different parts of a program Understand how to construct an extensive program from multiple modules The content for this specialisation is taken from the University of London's online BSc Computer Science degree. If you complete the courses and eventually take the course 'Object Oriented Programming' in the degree, you progress should be carried across.

Proyecto de aprendizaje aplicado

In this specialisation, you will build a single, large project: a cryptocurrency trading platform. You will build the program using C++ during five courses. The program runs in the command-line in text mode and it simulates the experience of buying and selling cryptocurrencies. The program works with a real data set representing the order book of a real currency exchange platform.

Curso1

Curso 1

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform I: user input

This course is the first 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 first course, you will get started with C++ by writing, building and running your first program. You will then learn about text input/output, if statements and loops by building an interactive menu system for the crypto-currency exchange platform. Upon completing the course, you will be able to: * Write, compile and run a C++ program that prints messages to the console * Use the standard library to do text I/O in the console * Write and call simple functions * Use a while loop to repeatedly receive and respond to user input

Curso2

Curso 2

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform II: data

This course is the second 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 second course, you will start learning about C++ classes. You will learn about header files, class member functions, and select appropriate data types to represent a dataset in a C++ program. Upon completing the course, you will be able to: * Select appropriate data types to represent a dataset in a C++ program * Describe how a class can be used to combine multiple pieces of data into one unit * Write a class with functions

Curso3

Curso 3

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

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

Curso 4

Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform IV: objects

This course is the fourth 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 fourth course, you will implement the matching engine for the crypto-currency exchange platform. You will learn about C++ vector iterations, test data to evaluate the matching engine algorithm, and deepen your knowledge about exception handling to write robust code. Upon completing the course, you will be able to: * Write functions that calculate basic statistics by iterating over vectors of objects * Use test data to evaluate the correctness of an algorithm * Use exception handling to write robust user input processing code
