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 Java.
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
- Appreciate the similarities and differences between C++ and Java
- Use containers and templates
- Safely manage resources using matched constructors and destructors
- Write efficient C++11 & C++14 code utilising the new features
- Utilise the new multi-threading facilities
- Utilise the new features of the Standard Library
Audience
This course is aimed at programmers, analysts, engineers and technical managers who already have some knowledge of Java and who are interested in C++ program development.
Prerequisites
This course assumes a working knowledge of the Java language up to the level covered in the Java Programming course.
