Now that you have finished this course, listen to a few thoughts about the beginning programmer's mindset that can be applied to any programming language. Also, find out about some web resources that can be helpful throughout your programming career. Stack Overflow is arguably the most popular programming Q&A site, and you'll also learn about a couple of websites that cater exclusively to the C++ programming language.

Continue learning about computer programming with this lesson on common developer acronyms. Begin by learning about software developer kits (SDK) and see how a quick download can help you write software and perform functions with your code. Then, take a look at application programming interface (API) which allows you to connect your program to other programs, like Google Calendar or Youtube. Finally, learn about the programming development life cycle.

Memory management is an important topic in object oriented programming. In this lesson, learn about creating and managing memory sections. HumanHardDrive illustrates examples using C++. Although each OOP language has its unique challenges, you'll get a basic understanding of the concepts, and why having a good understanding of how to manage memory is important for other programming concepts.

Continue learning about encapsulation in C++ with this programming lesson. You'll review the steps for refactoring functions in an object oriented way. Begin by looking over the remaining functions in your linear program such as the getFirstName, getInitials, and displayName functions. Then, learn how to copy and paste them into the appropriate object oriented classes and reformat them for object oriented programming.

Operator overloading is a convenient feature in object oriented programming. Learn the basic concepts in this lesson with HumanHardDrive using a C++ programming example. Watch over his shoulder as he demonstrates creating custom operators for data types which don't already have their own. You'll also see a real time example of creating condensed if statements, and class overloading.

In this C++ programming lesson, learn how to use accessors and overrides in object-oriented programming. Translate linear coded functions into object-oriented methods and learn how to make them private, public, or protected. Then, learn why overrides are useful in C++ programming and practice applying an override to a piece of code in CodeBlocks.

Explore the relationship between strings and arrays in this beginning programming lesson from HumanHardDrive. Using C++, learn the correct syntax for a string, how to initialize it as an array, and how it can be used with variables. Also, learn about escape sequences, why null terminators are important, and how arrays can be used to access lists, tables, and formatted data types. Finally, learn about common errors so you can avoid them.

These days, more business is being done online than ever before. In fact, as the programming world explodes with rapid developments, businesses are scrambling to keep up with—and take advantage of—cutting edge technology. Jump right into the action with this lesson which introduces dynamic web programming, databases, and eCommerce. In addition to getting some expert book recommendations, you'll learn about several free programming resources and some inspiring industry professionals.

Functions, parameters, definitions--what do these terms have to do with coding in Python 3? Learn the basics of functions in this computer programming language. In this short coding lesson, teacher Sentdex explains the purpose of functions, when to use them when writing Python 3 code, and how they’ll save you a bunch of time when programming.

The Swift programming language contains many different variable types; explore what some of the most used ones are in this lesson with Mark Lassoff, the founder of Learn to Program. Learn about the various sorts of integer variables, discover the differences between floating point and double variables, explore Booleans and strings, and more. This is a fundamental lesson for Swift beginners who want to learn the basics of Apple's programming language.

R is a free software programming language that computes statistical data and graphics. Learn how to create vectors and matrices for simple operations in R. Mike Marin from MarinStatsLectures breaks down the world of computer programming language R. Find out how to assign a value to an object, use arithmetic on vectors, and use the “seq,” “rep,” and square bracket commands.

When you're programming in C++, some of the code can get pretty complex. However, you can make your code easier to read and comprehend by making good use of code comments. Take a quick look at code comments with this lesson from LearnToProgram. You'll learn how to insert code comments and use them to temporarily disable portions of programming.

Sometimes, mathematics and computer programming languages come together. In this lesson, learn how to perform basic math problems in Python 3. Teacher Sentdex demonstrates how to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponential equations in the Python 3 programming language--it makes math easy!
