This question gets asked regularly, like here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here
(I guess nobody ever searches the forum history!).

Anyway, that last reference reported, "Ryan Carson (Co-founder and CEO of Treehouse) said Treehouse won't release a course on C++." So unless that changes, you can probably take "no" as the definitive answer.

Of course, you could still make a suggestion if you want. Click on the Support link at the top of this page and you will find information on how to submit suggestions.

C++ language is very common language. In our university, I have started programming in C++. We have studied oop and data structure & algorithm with the C++ language.

Is there any specific reason why C++ course won't be there? I mean, I am working in the quantitative finance domain, and here C++ is the most important (all the legacy libraries, etc are written in C++).

There are some staff responses in previous questions. They are usually similar to this one from former staffer Jay Padzensky on Dec 26, 2016:

The short answer is that Treehouse is focusing on web development languages, and as far as C++ is concerned, it's a bit unwieldy for web dev, and languages like Java, Python and C# are all modern and more in demand for web development tasks.
