Prerequisite Knowledge
To optimize your chances of success in the C++ Nanodegree program, we recommend intermediate knowledge of any programming language.
C++ Foundations
Learn how to develop, compile, and execute C++ programs as well as syntax, functions, containers, and how to link together multiple files.
Route PlannerObject-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Learn to build classes, interfaces, and generic templates to create an object-oriented C++ program. Learn how modern C++ includes many tools for writing clean, reusable code.
Process MonitorMemory Management
Learn to control static and dynamic memory in C++ using the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization pattern, pointers, references, and move semantics.
Memory Management ChatbotConcurrency
C++ supports running multiple execution paths in parallel. Learn how to launch process and threads in order to execute logic in parallel. Then advance to thread synchronization and communication, to experience the full power of concurrent programming.

Janghyun L.
This program is the only one that I am satisfied!
Yeshwanth kumar P.
The program is really practical and demanding in terms of skillset to be used. It would be even better if some concepts are taught before the introduction to course project.
Anthony L.
It's great. I love the projects.
Shoshanna B.
Pretty well
Viatcheslav T.
Doing fine, just what I need so far!

Program Details
Why should I enroll?
C++ is a compiled, high-performance language. Robots, automobiles, and embedded software all depend on C++ for speed of execution. This program is designed to turn software engineers into C++ developers. You will use C++ to develop object-oriented programs, to manage memory and system resources, and to implement parallel programming.
What jobs will this program prepare me for?
C++ is the industry standard for high-performance computer programming.
As such, advanced knowledge of this programming language can open the doors for you to work in a variety of industries, including C++ engineering, robotics software, IoT, mobile communications, video game development, operating systems, networking, AI, embedded systems, and more.
Your opportunities and roles might include:
- C++ Software Developer
- Self-Driving Car Engineer
- Robotics Software Engineer
- Embedded Systems Engineer
- Entry-Level Game Programmer
How do I know if this program is right for me?
This program is right for you if you’re an intermediate-level programmer familiar with functions and classes who wants to become a C++ developer or pursue a career in robotics software, IoT, mobile communications, video game development, operating systems, networking, AI, embedded systems, and more.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW - WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS PROGRAM?
Do I need to apply? What are the admission criteria?
There is no application. This Nanodegree program accepts everyone, regardless of experience and specific background.
What are the prerequisites for enrollment?
To optimize your chances of success in the C++ Nanodegree program, we recommend intermediate knowledge of any programming language.
If I do not meet the requirements to enroll, what should I do?
For students who have little or no coding background, our Introduction to Programming Nanodegree program is an opportunity to learn object-oriented programming in Python. If you are interested in self-driving cars and have no programming experience, the Intro to Self-Driving Cars Nanodegree program will teach you the basics of object-oriented programming in C++, as well as linear algebra and calculus.
Enrollment and Admission
How is this Nanodegree program structured?
The C++ Nanodegree program is comprised of content and curriculum to support five (5) projects. We estimate that students can complete the program in four (4) months working 10 hours per week.
Each project will be reviewed by the Udacity reviewer network. Feedback will be provided and if you do not pass the project, you will be asked to resubmit the project until it passes.
How long is this Nanodegree program?
Access to this Nanodegree program runs for the length of time specified in the payment card above. If you do not graduate within that time period, you will continue learning with month to month payments. See the Terms of Use and FAQs for other policies regarding the terms of access to our Nanodegree programs.
I have graduated from the C++ Nanodegree program, where should I go from here?
We highly recommend the Self-Driving Car Engineer, Robotics Software Engineer, and Flying Car and Autonomous Flight Engineer Nanodegree programs. All of these programs use C++, and as a graduate of the C++ Nanodegree program, you’ll have the coding skills necessary to succeed in these programs and the opportunity to specialize in specific areas of robotics and autonomous systems.
