Console C++ Video Tutorials - A Free Course

This series is intended to be a starting point for beginners to C++ as well as a refresher for experienced programmers.

The videos build up the programming concepts in the standard C++ language, starting from the very basics of the language up through some simple game programming using the central features of C++. Most of the video tutorials present a single C++ concept and require a single main.cpp file. There is no download for these lessons as the programs are short. Every few lessons (i.e., 9, 13, 23, …), the material from the previous lessons is brought together to make a longer program to illustrate applications. These lessons have a more substantial program and include downloadable projects.
