Course Description


This hands on C++ programming course provides an accelerated introduction to the most essential syntactical components of the C and C++ languages on the first day, prior to four days of focus on object-oriented programming with C++. The course begins by introducing the built in data types, fundamental control constructs, and rich expression operator repertoire common to both C and C+. The remainder of the course teaches object-oriented programming using features of C++, congruent with the C++ for C Programmers course. Hands on exercises are performed throughout each day to demonstrate key concepts and assure mastery by the student.
