Ever hang your head in shame after your Python program wasn't as fast as your friend's C program? Ever wish you could use objects without having to use Java? Join us for this fun introduction to C and C++! We will take you through a tour that will start with writing simple C programs, go deep into the caves of C memory manipulation, resurface with an introduction to using C++ classes, dive deeper into advanced C++ class use and the C++ Standard Template Libraries. We'll wrap up by teaching you some tricks of the trade that you may need for tech interviews.
We see this as a "C/C++ empowerment" course: we want you to come away understanding
- why you would want to use C over another language (control over memory, probably for performance reasons),
- why you would want to use C++ rather than C (objects), and
- how to be useful in C and C++.
The materials are now online on MIT's Open Courseware.

If you want to do it again next IAP and want help or a TA, I'd love to help. I like the idea of "empowering" students to know when to use C/C++ and how to do so when they finally find themselves in the appropriate situation.
AWESOME. This is exactly what i've been looking for. No more Sam's for me.
