C++ and Object-Oriented Programming (for C Programmers)

An intensive, five-day, lecture-and-laboratory C++ and object-oriented programming course for practicing C programmers. C++ offers three major items beyond C, and each is discussed in reasonable technical detail in this course—enhancements to C that improve the process of writing programs, features for data abstraction and encapsulation that enable programmers to create new types, and capabilities for object-oriented programming. The course clearly explains the C++ programming language and contains detailed walkthroughs of many C++ programs. Students become proficient in C++, understand the object-oriented paradigm, and participate in challenging laboratory assignments. Solutions are provided for the laboratory exercises. 60% lecture and 40% laboratory exercises. The course is customized to each client’s specific needs.
