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.
