This course is intended for

This is an introductory-level C++ programming course designed for developers with experience programming in C or other languages. Practical hands-on prior programming experience and knowledge is required.

Overview

This 'skills-centric' course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in basic coding with C++, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current 'on-the-job' experience into every classroom. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn:
Writing procedural programs using C++
Using private, public and protected keywords to control access to class members
Defining a class in C++
Writing constructors and destructors
Writing classes with const and static class members
Overloading operators
Implementing polymorphic methods in programs
Writing programs using file I/O and string streams
Using manipulators and stream flags to format output
Using the keyword template to write generic functions and classes
Writing programs that use generic classes and functions
Writing programs that use algorithms and containers of the Standard Library
Apply object-oriented design techniques to real-world programming problems
Using algorithms and containers of the Standard Library to manipulate string data
Understand how C++ protects the programmer from implementation changes in other modules of an application
Using try() blocks to trap exceptions
Using catch() blocks to handle exceptions
Defining exceptions and using throw to trigger them

Introduction to C++ Programming / C++ Essentials is a skills-focused, hands-on C++ training course geared for experienced programmers who need to learn C++ coupled with sounds coding skills and best practices for OO development. Students will leave this course armed with the required skills to put foundation-level C++ programming skills right to work in a practical environment. 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. Practical aspects of C++ programming including efficiency, performance, testing, and reliability considerations are stressed throughout. Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency
