C++ is a leading computer programming language for developing financial and engineering programmes for PCs, as well as having a variety of other uses.
It's one of the most powerful computer programming languages and so is a much sought-after skill by employers especially in engineering and financial institutions.
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an object-oriented extension to C. It is now one of the most widely-used languages of all, which is in part because of its C heritage.
C++ is not the easiest language to learn. Generally speaking, it is advisable to have previous experience of another language - or have a mathematical background.
Many students have proved this wrong (against advice!) and have become proficient C++ programmers from scratch, but it is generally advisable to tackle say Excel VBA first.
A knowledge of C++ is also of enormous benefit to CG (Computer Graphics) students who wish to come to terms UnReal Engine and the Maya C++ API etc. With Smart Pointers C++ is making a comeback!
Kensington College London (founded in 1981), provides computer courses in central London.
For all programming courses it is recommended that preliminary discussion is had with regard to possible background programming or mathematical experience (eg none of these is really required for VBA ) and the suitability/applicability of one language over another.
We run regular courses for people who have very little or no knowledge of computing, or those who wish to update their computer skills.
Courses use specialized, colourful manuals. The emphasis is on simplicity.
Each student of course has access to his or her own computer in class but a student bringing and using their own laptop has proved very useful. It is strongly recommended that a student has a computer of one form or another with Microsoft Office in order to practise.
At the completion of your computer education course, subject to satisfactory performance, a Kensington College IT Certificate is awarded.
