C++ Starter is a coding and learning environment for beginners who want to learn C++ by writing and running real code. Start with the basics, then explore algorithms, games, graphical interfaces, and HTTP programming.
Write, compile, and run C++17 programs directly on your iPhone or iPad. Provide input and view results—all within the app, with no development environment to configure.
Learn by Writing Code
Start with 20 free C++ Basics lessons covering variables, input and output, conditions, loops, functions, strings, containers, structures, and classes.
Continue with seven additional courses through Learning Pro:
- C++ Data Processing and the Standard Library
- Algorithms and Problem Solving
- C++ Object-Oriented Programming and Project Organization
- Console Tool Projects
- Introduction to Game Programming
- Introduction to GUI Programming
- Introduction to HTTP Programming
Course content is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. Lessons focus on specific learning points and include explanations, examples, editable exercises, and reference solutions. Console exercises use local checks with test inputs and outputs, while game and GUI exercises provide interactive checklists.
Build Beyond the Console
- Use the standard library for data processing and algorithms
- Explore games and graphics with raylib
- Learn widgets, layouts, and events with TGUI
- Work with HTTP requests and server routes using CPR and Crow
- Edit and run client and server code within the same project
A Practical C++ Workspace
- Organize programs across multiple source files
- Compile and run C++17 code on your device
- Use preset input and interactive input
- View program output and compilation diagnostics
- Save your work automatically
- Manage multiple projects and customize libraries, presentation modes, and server support with IDE Pro
Local Coding, Networking When Needed
No account is required. Project code is stored on your device, and compilation and execution happen locally without uploading your source code to developer servers. Network programs can access external services; data included in requests is sent to the servers specified by your code.
Free Features and Optional Purchases
C++ Starter includes the complete C++ Basics course and one editable standard C++ project for free.
IDE Pro is an optional one-time purchase that provides multiple-project management and advanced project configuration.
Learning Pro provides access to all paid courses available in your region for 1, 3, or 12 months. Purchases do not renew automatically. The editing and runtime features needed for course exercises are included—no separate IDE Pro purchase is required.
Whether you are writing your first program or building a game, interface, or HTTP service, C++ Starter gives you a place to learn through code.
