There is a lot of valuable information. However, for a beginner course it moves through the lessons to quickly. I have to pause or replay sections often.

The course is very informative and slow paced for now the instructor takes you through the basics of C++ coding techniques in a smooth fashion.

This was a great class for getting through the basics, I've used C and C# in the past and the majority of this is the same, but it's been long enough that it was a well needed refresher. The only thing I could say for improvement would be to take a little more time with some of the snippets of code and explain what they do a little more, I would think someone brand new might have a bit of trouble keeping up from about section 8 and up. The pacing gets a little quick and some of the newly introduced lines of code aren't explained as well as they could be.

These lessons are well done, they are very understandable, they explain what they are doing without spending any extra time or repetition in nu-necessary places. This is 100 times better than the college lessons I took. I'm learning the terminology and all the necessary tools to start development in c++ (I'm familiar with many other languages already(

He doesn't explain in detail while he programs what are the codes that he is using for, and he doesn't explain the basics of c++
