One of the defining features of C++ is that it makes heavy use of pointers, variables which store the numerical memory addresses of pieces of other data. (Courtesy of Randall Munroe. Original comic can be found here.)

Course Description
This is a fast-paced introductory course to the C++ programming language. It is intended for those with little programming background, though prior programming experience will make it easier, and those with previous experience will still learn C++-specific constructs and concepts.
This course is offered during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month.
