Course Description


This hands on C++ training course presents a thorough introduction to object-oriented programming in C++ for experienced C programmers. The central concepts of C++ syntax and style are taught in the context of using object-oriented methods to achieve reusability, adaptability and reliability. Emphasis is placed on the features of C++ that support abstract data types, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students will learn to apply the process of data abstraction and class design. Extensive programming examples and exercises are provided, with approximately half of class time spent performing hands on programming labs. Practical aspects of C++ programming including efficiency, performance, testing, and reliability considerations are stressed throughout.
