C++ Programming, An Introduction

LENGTH OF COURSE:
 5 Days

DESCRIPTION: The course will concentrate on the basics of C++ programming. The course will evaluate how C++ is an extended version of C and how to take advantage of C++ portability across machine types. Students will evaluate programming techniques and facilities that are available in a typical C++ environment. In addition, students will learn how to design and code programs which take advantage of C++ Object Oriented Features.

PREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge of programming concepts and some exposure to data processing terminology. Knowledge of C programming is a plus . For custom courses, the customer may want to include a 1-day overview of C prior to this course.

INSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: A combination of Lecture, Exercises, and Labs (when/where available).

AUDIENCE
