Overview

C++ is an object-oriented language derived from C. It is a well-established language offering a high degree of efficiency and portablility. Object orientation results in more robust and maintainable code that is easier to understand.

This course all the major features of C++ for programmers who do not have experience of 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 are interested in C++ program development.

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to be familiar with at least one other programming language, but no other prior knowledge is assumed.

Programmers with a knowledge of C or Java would be better served by our C++ Programming for C Programmers course
