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.
