Internship – Series of 5 courses

In this specialization, you will develop a variety of C++ programming skills. Instead of building many small programs like in other courses, we have chosen a different approach: you will build one large program across five courses. The program will be a simple cryptocurrency trading platform. We will address the following learning objectives:

  • Use flow management to build interactive programs, with multiple branches and iterations
  • Select appropriate data types to model the trading platform information
  • Convert algorithms from pseudocode to C++ and test them
  • Use classes to combine data and functions and simulate interactions between different parts of a program
  • Learn how to build a broad plan from multiple modules

The content of this specialization is taken from the University of London’s online BSc in Computer Science programme. If you complete the courses and finally take the ‘Object Oriented Programming’ course in the degree, your progress will be saved.

Hands-on Learning Project

In this internship, you will build one large project: a cryptocurrency trading platform. You will build the program using C++ over five courses. The program runs on the command line in text mode and simulates the experience of buying and selling cryptocurrencies. The program operates on a real dataset that represents the order book of a real cryptocurrency exchange platform.
