Hi does anyone know of C++ courses offered -- taught in several days?The one found through google are extremely expensive and was wondering if maybe one of you knew of a good place and reasonable price.Ultimately enough to learn to model interest rate option models

Hi ZakdukaYou wanna use it for professional reasons (end-user programming) or just to do some testing/modelling and playing with financial instruments.If the second reason try using Delphi. It is much easier to learn, it is almost as fast and you get the GUI thing for free. Also the time to create a program is much more efficient. The drawback is that people normally like/use C++ (most libraries are written for C++).Lodi

I stronlgy doubt if you'll find a C++ course optimised for you needs. You can get OO,Win32, Unix or even database oriented C++ courses, but outsideacademia there is little chance in the numerical stuff I assume you want. I've not come across anyone who will directly train you instuff like attaching to Excel either. In my opinion, QA training are about the best, I know some of the lecturers and they are first rate. For instnace one is a math/programmer typeat Barlcays Capital. Pymalion aren't bad either, if you're focusing on Windows flavour C++. Both have sites in the City.www.qa.comGood courses aren't cheap, in fact good or bad they're all about the same cost.I'd go on a decent OO C++ course, then buy a couple of the texts recommended in the Books topic.DominiConnor

I agree with DCFC, QA are first rate.
