Overview
C++ couples the benefits of object-oriented programming with the efficiency of C. Object orientation results in more robust code that is easier to understand and maintain.
This course covers all the major features of C++ and highlights the differences to C. The basic principles of object-oriented programming are covered.
Participants acquire hands-on experience of the language by working through a wide selection of exercises.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Write, compile and execute C++ programs
- Apply C++'s object-oriented features
- Use containers and templates
- Safely manage resources using matched constructors and destructors
- Use elements of the standard library
Audience
This course is aimed at programmers, analysts, engineers and technical managers who already have some knowledge of C (or Java) and who are interested in C++ program development.
Prerequisites
This course assumes a working knowledge of the C language up to the level covered in the C Programming course. Alternatively, a knowledge of Java up to the level covered in the Java Programming course will suffice.
Programmers without C or Java experience should consider our C++ Programming course.
