Object-Oriented Programming With C++
- Course Variations:
- Several versions of this course are available, depending on the
backgrounds of the course participants. The one described below is
for software developers with C programming experience but without
prior knowledge of C++. An alternate version is available for
software developers who lack the C programming experience, and a
third, more advanced version is available for those with introductory
knowledge of C++.
-
- Description:
- This intensive SoftMoore course provides a solid foundation for
object-oriented programming using the C++ programming language.
Assuming a basic familiarity with the C programming language and
classical procedural programming techniques, the course guides
participants into an object-oriented mindset for developing software.
The major emphasis of this course is on the most effective use of
the advanced language features, presented in the context of modern
software engineering themes of modularity, abstraction, information
hiding, and reusability. Fundamental principles of object-oriented
design and programming are stressed while covering the latest
ANSI/ISO language enhancements. The course uses a hands-on workshop
approach with numerous examples and programming exercises to
illustrate and reinforce basic concepts. Lectures are interspersed
with programming exercises which require participants to design,
compile, link, and test complete C++ programs.
-
- Audience:
- This workshop is designed for software development professionals who
are planning to move to C++ for developing object-oriented applications.
This is not a gentle overview of C++ for the casual programmer or
non-technical manager. Participants are expected to have C programming
experience.
-
- Recommended Duration:
- 5 Days
-
- Course Materials:
- Each participant will receive a complete set of all course materials
including course notes, programming exercises and solutions, and a copy
of a current C++ programming textbook.
