C++ Programming Introduction

Course Description

This C++ Programming Introduction training course is a comprehensive hands-on introduction to object-oriented programming in C++. Emphasis is placed on the features of C++ that support effective modelling of the problem domain and reuse of code.

The course consists of two modules. The first module introduces the core C features of C++, with simplified input/output through iostreams. The module begins with simple hands-on programming using C++ to do input, computation and output.

The C++ data types are covered, and simple if tests and loops are covered. C++ program structure is introduced. Pointers, addressing, and arrays are discussed. Structures and unions are covered.

In the second module, object-oriented concepts are introduced. The C++ class construct is introduced and its key features elaborated step-by-step, providing full implementation of abstract data types.

C++ memory management is discussed. Function and operator overloading and the use of references are covered. The scope and access control mechanisms of C++ are described. Inheritance is introduced. The use of virtual functions to implement polymorphism is discussed. Extensive programming examples and exercises are provided.

Pre Requisities

Knowledge of a programming language. Specific knowledge of the C language is not a requirement.

Who Is This Course For

This course is designed for software developers who are moving to object-oriented programming in C++, with or without prior experience in the C language.

Furthur Training

After some further on-the-job programming experience with the C language, we recommend students attend our
C++ Programming Advanced training course to gain higher-level skills in the usage of the C++ programming language.
