Hi all,I remember I read before that Wilmott has conducted a C++ course for 7 cities or something. Could somebody give me more info on that please?Thanks.

I teach a few lectures on the course, what sort of thing do you want to know ?

I am a PhD students majored Mathematical Finance with specialization risk measures. I'd also want some materials about C++ learning.My background is not so strong in computer science, so I'd like to learn more.mam3xs@gmail.comDo appreciate!Michael Sun

Ok, I give C++ courses for Quants in London on a regular basis. See Wilmott events and www.datasim.nlThe focus is on applying C++ to FE and less on syntax. http://www.datasim-component.com/courses.asp

Cheers!I visited that website, most of them are info. about seminars except the papers.Any more learning materials? Many thanks.

Hi,What I want to know is that other than pointers, polymorphysm, arrays, etc, do I need to know how to use C++ to access database before I can get a quant job? I asked this because in ordinary C++ course, it doesn't go deep into Database programming.Thanks heaps.Regards,Oliver.

Cuchulain, these guys are looking for free material. Your book has to be bought.

Look at this Thesis. It has led to a book on design.

This one for C++ language itself. I believe it is the base of another book.In addition there are many resources you can find on the web.

Thank you very much.I am very good at finding materials with math finance, but not those of programming.In now days, most industries require more about programming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just modelling and analysis are not enough

QuoteOriginally posted by: madmaxLook at this Thesis. It has led to a book on design.This is great stuff from one of the early gurus in Design Patterns, written in 90's.However, it is quite sophistiacted and over head of those in universities, especially if not pure IT or CS.So, not DIRECTLY applicable to finance.

It is feasible to learn 'tourist Italian' for example and get no further. So you learn how to say:good morning etc.Where is the stationhow much does it costBye byegood eveningetc.Same with C++. You must learn it well, otherwise there's no point beginning. Pidgin C++ is not on. In that case learn VB or C# instead. I know for a fact that C++ CANNOT be self-taught. Dominic will probably back me up on that.
