C++ Programming

Differences C and C++

First the differences between C and C++ are discussed concerning variable declarations, formatted output with the stream IO library, namespaces, function overloading and default function parameters.

References

Subsequently the new C++ reference variables are discussed. Attention is paid to both Lvalue and Rvalue references.

C++ Classes

An important element of the course is the C++ class concept and C++ implementation of object-oriented principles such as abstraction and encapsulation. Attention is paid to dynamic memory allocation with new and delete and the role of assignment operators and copy and move constructors. Also special features of classes such as statics, friends and iterators are discussed.

Inheritance and Polymorfisme

Next the object-oriented principles of inheritance and polymorphism are part of the subject matter. This includes the concepts of virtual functions, v-tables, dynamic binding and abstract classes.

Operator Overloading

C++ has the option to give existing operators a different meaning and this phenomenon is discussed in the module operator overloading.

Templates en Standard Template Library

Attention is paid to important features of the standard C++ library like the String class and the base concepts of C++ templates and the Standard Template Library (STL).

Exception Handling

Finally exception handling and how this is implemented in C++ is addressed. A follow up course for the course C++ Programming is Advanced C++ Programming.

Audience C++ Programming Course

The course C++ Programming is intended for developers who want to learn programming in C++ and others who want to understand C++ code.

Prerequisites Course C++ Programming

Knowledge of and experience with C programming is required to attend this course.

Realization Training C++ Programming

The theory is treated on the basis of presentation slides and is interspersed with exercises. Illustrative demos are used to clarify the discussed concepts. The course material is in English.

Certification C++ Programming

Participants receive an official certificate C++ Programming after successful completion of the course.
