Programming: from zero to hero
We strongly recommend doing the assessment (blue button) to help decide which of the courses you should do! It can take from 5 to 30 minutes and is completely free of charge.

Getting started with c++
Description
The course is for those who want to get down to serious programming. We will code in c++ only in this course. No prior knowledge of c++ is required, only good algorithmic thinking is (as we will solve a lot of problems).
Schedule
The course contains 12 small group lessons and 11 homeworks. Each lesson lasts 2h 15mins. More information about the next wave later.
Price & Payment
The course is free for those who have either of the two kvedallions: "Algorithmaster" or "Junior Matholymper". Otherwise the price is about 4 British Pounds (GBP) per hour, with the total price for the course being 99 British Pounds (GBP). More details about the payment will be in the email that confirms the place at the course.

What is "Junior Matholymper" kvedallion?
This is one of the kvedallions you can get for doing some of the olympiad maths courses. Yeap, mathematicians have all the power to start programming and be successful. Moreover, we encourage people to do both: programming and maths as this combination makes you "super powerful" later in life :)
Fighting for efficient algorithms
