Programming in C++

Description

C++ has become one of the most widely used programming languages in the software industry. It is a powerful object-oriented language supported by major vendors and is used for a multitude of applications.

This course gives the delegate a complete introduction to both OO development and the full syntax of the ANSI C++ language before moving on to some more advanced topics. The course is strongly supported by a rich set of practical exercises, allowing delegates to produce well-structured C++ programs from the outset.

Object-Oriented design is the key to making software easy to understand and maintain. The techniques discussed on this course will promote software reuse and help reduce the costs of developing software projects.
