C++ Code Ninja - Learn to code effectively in C++ with an expert

From 53 $ /h

C++ is the language of Systems. When it comes to performance its either C or C++ that came again and again to rescue and help engineer carefully architect the systems and control almost every aspect of a program. I am a passionate C++ programmer and have been working for last 9 years in C++. I am professionally working at Ubisoft as a game engine programmer for last 6+ years. I am current living in Paris as I continue to work at Ubisoft and the course is in English because I do not speak French yet. Through out my career I have worked on various C++ code bases ranging from game engine rendering, physics, A.I., video decoder, distributed build build systems for building large C++ code bases. Apart from coding I like to teach how to write efficient code to people with less experience in a manner which is easy to understand and feels fun.

The approach I would like to take with the course differs from text books. Text books generally drops too much information at once and makes it overwhelming for students. I would start with assessment of the student's skill with coding and dive straight into to coding without even wasting a minute. Together we will work on simple projects and learn how to build a complex program. By the time the course finishes you should be able to jump into thousands of lines of code with comfort.
Don't worry even if you have never written a single line of code. Even though people do not recommend you to start with C++ I think it is better to start this way. Things you learn on the way would make you a better programmer when it comes to any other language. This is how I learnt coding also.

C++ Course Includes:
C subset of C++ (Pointers, Functions, User Defined Data types)
Object Oriented Features of C++
Advanced C++ Features (Templates, Lambdas, Threads etc.)
Effective use of STL Containers and Algorithms.
Memory Management
File IO
How to leverage Multi-threading to improve responsiveness of your programs
We can go far into advance technicalities but that is based on the skill set of the student.

On the side:
We will work on interesting projects based on the choice of the student. We can also make video games literally in C++ from scratch (this could seriously be fun).
Data Structures
Desing Patterns
Code Versioning (Git)
Operating Systems basics
Making Apps

Extra information

All you need is discipline, hard-work, curiosity and you can be an extraordinary programmer. You need a laptop though :)

About Me

I am an Indian guy living in Paris. I am a computer engineer and I work at Ubisoft as a game engine programmer. Ubisoft is one of the worlds biggest video game companies.
I like to teach and help people explore things that they never thought were possible.
I believe your knowledge expands when you share your knowledge.
Apart from coding I like to sing, watch movies and listen to music. I like to learn new things so I am also learning music harmony.

Apart from coding I spend time in music production too.

Education

BTech Computer Science - LPU Jalandhar, Punjab

I have been been a passionate student of computer science. As a kid I always wanted to make video games. So I spent a lot of time making games since engineering and learnt a lot of things that goes into game programming. Now I want to share this knowledge with the people

Experience / Qualifications

Working at Ubisoft brought me a lot of experience with different hardware and software.
I have worked on variety of consoles PS4, PS3, Xbox One, X360, Nintendo Switch, WiiU, PC, Google Stadia.
