Advanced Object-Oriented Programming with C++ - 2 days

Objectives

To fully understand the C++ language, including classes, constructors & destructors, static and const members, virtual functions and virtual classes, multiple inheritance, streams and persistence.

To examine the advanced features of the latest version of C++, including run-time type information, exception handling, new style casting, design considerations, container classes and templates.

To learn the basics of the Standard Template Library.

To learn the basics of Object Oriented Design.

Audience

This course is aimed at programmers familiar with the C++ programming language, who want to improve their skills to understand the language, its the new features and how to use it well.

This isn't just a syntax course - the implications of what you do must be understood, and this course will teach you not just the syntax but why and when you should use different techniques.

Prerequisites

Good working knowledge of C++ including writing classes and methods, equivalent to our C/C++ Introduction and Object Oriented programming with C++ courses, or at least three months programming experience in C++.

Outline
