Yes I would love there to be some courses on C++ and Unreal Engine, especially as Unreal is now free and available for everyone to use.

I too second your opinion on a course about data structures.

Learning to program is one thing but also knowing about data structures, optimal ways to do things, and so on, is something you will encounter in your job regularly but also something that can come up in interviews.

While I love C++ and it was the first language I ever learned, a course on C++ may not be too valuable unless it is paired with something like Unreal Engine 4. Unless you are working writing compilers, languages, operating systems or video games (amongst many other applications for C++), today's languages like C#, Java, Javascript, Objective-C, Swift, PHP, Ruby, Python, are much higher level, easier to grasp, and can get the job done 99% of the time.

Teaching C++ without any real reason or added value is probably not beneficial to Treehouse. Though I would love to see a C++ course with Unreal Engine 4! :D

But, a data structures course would really be cool for learning programming and computer science concepts, and not just the languages themselves.
