Course Outline
C++ is a fully compiled programming language, based heavily on C. C++11 now introduces many new features to improve C++ and its efficiency. C++ allows multiple paradigms for programming Object Oriented; Generic and Functional. C++ still holds a valid place in the enterprise, whether you are developing Windows applications or for embedded real time operating systems running on black boxes. C++ is widely used in the manufacturing sector for real-time controls and workflow monitoring. C++ is also an excellent stepping stone to move into developing distributable applications and "thick client" windows applications using .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET.
Course Content
Our hands-on C++ training course has been developed for real-world, commercial scenarios by our expert instructors. See below for detailed syllabus. If you have a technical question, please email sales@jbinternational.co.uk
This course will provide delegates with a sound base in object oriented concepts and the C++ programming language, also introducing generic and functional programming. Practical exercises are used throughout, using either Visual Studio.NET (Visual C++) on Windows platform or GCC compiler on Linux (Eclipse). No previous C++ programming experience is required.
