C++ Programming for Financial Engineering

It has been a challenging course that helped me build the basis layers of the c++ knowledge

Quality of the course was very high, as well as the TA support

I learnt a lot from this C++ course - the syllabus is well-structured and the workload is intense. The forum is generally the most helpful place and I was able to find answers to almost all my questions regarding hw there. TA Avi is very responsive and helpful, as he always replies to my posts/messages within one hour, and turns around hw feedback within a day. Overall I feel that my time is very well-spent with this course.

The course is so good, especially the TA and the forum. I learned the most from my HW and TA's feedback. Thanks so much!

After I finished the C++ course I felt that I learned a very much from you. Not only for the level of the material developed, but also the excellent lectures of Daniel and, maybe more importantly, the tireless support and help of my TA, very committed with the course and his students.

I had a generally good experience throughout the four months. After learning it, I can use C++ to do homework for other pre-mfe classes. This is the first ever computer language I have learned. I am especially grateful to my TA Avi Palley, who provided me not only help but also encouragement. The forum is also very useful for studying the materials and doing homework.

This course is very helpful.The course structure is quite clear and easy understanding.The lecture materials are very detailed.It was an amazing experience.

Great course for beginners with little to no prior experience in programming. The levels are structured in a way that allows students to build a solid basis and gradually move to more complicated topics. It also provides a wide array of financial engineering methods with an already working prototype which is extremely beneficial for students just starting to learn financial engineering.

The learning materials are practical and very detailed for an introductory course. The 24/7 assistance from the TA and other participants on the forum definitely exceeded the expectations from an online program. Thank you for the great course!

This is a great course that gives us a good understanding of C++ in a relative short time.

For someone coming in who has utilized coding techniques previously, I feel as though I am leaving the course with a much better understanding of elegant programming techniques in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. While the homework was challenging at times, I believe the course covered all of the bases needed to be a successful programmer in the long run and the TA support for an online course was phenomenal.

While not only learning a lot, I have found the formality of the certification itself to be valuable in terms of a career perspective. For someone who was not coming from a Computer Science B.S., but has experience coding, this certification serves as a great CE (continuing education) addition to my resume that shows I have been formally trained in Object Oriented Programming techniques, without the need to go back and get another bachelors degree.

QuantNet's course was thorough and rigorous. Within the first several weeks I was able to write a non-trivial c++ tool that made use of third-party libraries, boost, and higher-level organizational concepts. The TAs are wonderfully supportive and helpful, and I would highly recommend the course for anyone starting out in C / C++ who is looking to achieve a baseline of knowledge in a relatively short amount of time. QuantNet's course is by far the best programming course I have ever taken.

I really liked the quality of the course, covering all the main topics in detail. The efforts made by my TA Avi have been great. He was really helpful and used to reply in no time. I would also like to thank Dr Duffy was those insightful lectures and making the course seem simple and fun to learn. The support provided by Quantnet was good as well. The online discussions forum helped me a lot when I was doing the assignments.

This course is really helpful to me. It is the first time I am instructed to different pricing models and c++ applications in Finance. It shows me a new world by knowing how to combine the things I knew from Mathematics and Computer Science with the field of finance. I am also really thankful to all the help from TA APalley and the instructor and all the students active on the forum. They have always been accessible and quite helpful. I want to apply for financial engineering programs this year. I see this experience of earning the certificate as a very precious asset to me.

I think the course has already been very well-organized and designed. Very good and instructive course.

The course has a well-designed structure, enlightening examples and homework, and very helpful TAs. At the beginning, it is a bit challenging for one without any programming experience like me. However, I see it as a test on my aspiration in quantitative finance and so am willing to spend more time on the learning. Then the reward is that I do feel I learnt something every week (or even everyday). This encouraged me to stick to the study plan and finally complete the program. Overall it is excellent.

Very comprehensive course for C++ beginner. I only know little about Visual Basic before taking this course but I can get step by step to have a deep understanding about C++ programming. Also, the option pricing skills and knowledge learned in this course will be very helpful in MFE program study. TA is very helpful through the whole course and he can always give you useful comment and suggestion.

I recommend very one who want to apply for MFE program to enroll this course.

The course was a fantastic learning experience. I found the content to be comprehensive, the lectures to be crisp and engaging. The course was well structured and takes one through the important concepts of OOP, GP and applications in finance.
My TA, Avi, was extremely helpful throughout. He always responded to queries well and quickly. I would also like to say the manner in which the course uses the thread/ forum system is great, since it not only connects students and people from across the globe but also allows one to understand some of the potential stumbling blocks in the learning process.
On the whole, I think such a course is essential for any body aspiring to enter the world of quantitative finance.

I am quite happy with the manner in which the course was conducted.
I just felt that there could have been some questions, fitted in somewhere that made students think more, not just about how to use the concepts, but to brainstorm and think logically. For example, potential questions could have been the types available on Project Euler.

This course really serves its purpose well! TA is very supportive. I learned a lot from this course!
I am satisfied with the course!

Great course that I learned a lot. And professional and warm heart TA. TA always responds to questions speedy.

It is really a great course which help me get access to C++ language. It is an online course so it is convenient for me, a student in Japan, to take the course. The framewrok of the course is very reasonable and the content of lectures is very concise and friendly to beginners. My TA, Avi, is very condusive during my learning. Thank everyone who offered me helps in the course.

The course is undoubtedly in high quality and I would like to recommend it to anyone who are interested in C++. It provided me an efficient way to acquire the relevant C++ knowledge. With the help of the lectures, the material, the homework and the feedbacks from my TA, I benefit a lot from every specific level.

During the course, TA and many other friendly people helped me a lot. They answered my questions in time and with great patience. Their suggestions inspired me a lot and made the course more enjoyable!

In addition, the course is divided into 9 levels and can instruct you step by step. Level 9 will offer you an opportunity to show what you have learned through the course. When you do it, you can see how further you have gone with the help of the course!

Thanks a lot for all the people who helped me through the course!!!

I think the course is pretty good and of high quality.

It was a great experience, you get a good foundation of C++ and important libraries.The TAs and the forums are very responsive and were a huge help to get through the course. The course is well structure and the exercises really let you understand what you learned.
