C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

This course is totally worth it. It inspired my passion for programming and made me want to become a programmer. Exercises are quite challenging and intense, but also great learning opportunities. I learned from doing the exercises as much as from reading the materials and listening to the lectures. The class is well developed so that I can find answers to almost all of my questions in the discussion board. TA not only comments on the correctness of my code, but also on the efficiency, which I think is great. TA always responds so fast - sometimes within a couple minutes, that I wonder if he is staring at the forum all day. :)

Generally very high quality, TA is very responsible and super helpful. I like the code review most in this course that gives me a solid training on programming. Better to have Monte Carlo, FDM part into details.

The course is really helpful for the people who have no programming experience before, especially the last level which is connected with Finance and I really like that.

The TA is very nice, and they will answer every question as soon as they can. But before asking, you better do some research by yourself.

As a whole, it is a very nice learning experience!

It is a worthwhile investment!

For sure, you can self-study and reinforce your C++ skills at your own pace.

With the intellectually stimulating forums and interaction with my TA APalley and Dr. Duffy as well as the people who are concurrently learning in the program, you are not a lonewolf solving a C++ problem.

You may be stuck for hours but at least, there is some support that would stay you afloat throughout the entire program. The course will reinforce your skill to become an intermediate C++ programmer. Although the exercises a 'toy' problems creating classes through points, shapes, etc. but the essentials skills of a serious programmer remain.

I myself took a C++ course but the rigor of the assignments and quizzes sets the bar for those who are serious enough to break into the Quant Finance Industry.

Overall, this training in Quantnet is second to none.

The course is comprehensive and covers a lot of useful topics. It can help improve the understanding and application of C++ to an advanced level. The TAs are also very helpful and timely in answering the questions I have. I would recommend this course to students who are considering an MFE program.

This course is of high quality overall. I really enjoy this journey and brushes up my C++ skill to a decent level. Even as a professional programmer who is strong at some technologies other than C++ in financial application, I would recommend this course.

TA and support are on-time and solid.

The quality of the course was excellent. The TA was extremely helpful and responded pretty fast on any doubts I had.

The course is very informative. Besides the detailed notes, challenging but interesting homework problems also enabled students to think through the questions and developed their independence learning abilities. The TAs are super supportive. They attend the questions from the students whenever they could. Questions are usually answered instantly or at most one day after. Thanks very much!

Best C++ class for beginners. Instructor is a very experienced C++ programmer who knows the stuff really well. And TA is really supportive. This is exactly what I need to master C++ within a short period. You won't regret.

The course has been so helpful, especially for me who didn't have a lot of programming experience. The professor and TAs have made programming not scary any more. They are knowledgeable and accessible.

The outline of the course is clear and TA has been very supportive and helpful. The forum is a nice place to explore questions on my own and members are very active.

This is an excellent course for C++. It goes from fundamental topics of C++ to advanced topics like templates, STL and boost library. The TAs are very nice and helpful. Whenever I have questions, they are answered quickly. It makes me feel strongly that the TAs are so dedicated to the courses and willing to help. I strongly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn C++.

I learned C several years ago which I already forget most of it. That's saying I am pretty much new to C++. Although it's an online course, it is truly serious than most onsite courses. The lectures are well organized. Forum provides lots of help while doing the homework. My TA (Avi) is always there for help and all the questions posted in the forum will be answered in a short time.Overall, the quality of this course worth the investment in it.

Overall, it's a good experience.

My TA, Avi Palley, is a very smart and cool individual. He is also kind.

You definitely learned some good codes and good designs in level 9.

The course is also a good introduction to Boost library.

It is a very comprehensive course, with many very useful C++ coding skills. The TA is very helpful throughout the whole course.

Very good in general, excellent tutor and supportive TA. Tailored to meet the needs of Quant finance.

This course is a great for those who have previous programming experience in other language.

It provided me with a effective way to learn C++. TA is quite efficient, my question and homework would get feedback within a day.

Excellent course - well designed to get you thru to see the more advanced functionality in C++ from a novice starting point. The TA support couldn't be better - very prompt with no restriction on the hours (of course it helps reading other people's posts first before you ask your question!). I also liked the way the material was presented - short and sweet with deliverables after every chapter.

The course is of high quality. My TA is very nice and very patient in problem solving. It's very convenient for C programmers to transform to become C++ programmers. What attracts me most is it covers boost while others usually not.

Great course. Best way to start your MFE career path!
You are doing great! Some of the material is to too abstract. But overall a great experience.
