Summary: C++ Foundation for Non-C Programmers - Part 2 Training CD
Review: Course Overview
This is the second part of a two-part series which is designed to teach non-C programmers the fundamentals of C++ programming. This series is based on ANSI C++ and is not environment or vendor-specific. This course introduces the skills needed to be able to begin to use C++'s Object-Oriented (OO) features. Students will learn how to create, use, and extend classes, as well as how to populate those classes with members and functions. They will also learn how to instantiate objects, incorporate error handling, and perform simple I/O.

Learn To

Identify the features of object-oriented programming.
Declare a class.
Create an object to a class.
Invoke and access member functions.
Identify the function of a pointer.
Manipulate member functions.
Declare special member functions.
Inherit a class from a given base class.
Use different types of polymorphism.
Design and invoke different types of classes.
Convert one data type to another non-fundamental data type.
Develop efficient applications by using standard libraries and exception handling techniques.
Identify the steps in the development life cycle.

Audience
Application developers, application programmers, client/server developers, systems programmers, and software engineers are the types of people who would benefit from this course. Students should be experienced in at least one structured (not C) programming language, with possible exposure to Object-Oriented concepts and principles. Participants will likely be COBOL programmers (or equivalent), 4GL programmers (e.g., Visual Basic, PowerSoft, etc.) or have limited experience with other Object-Oriented languages (e.g., SmallTalk, Eiffel, etc.) They should also have a detailed understanding of the general process of structured software design and development. Participants should have taken the first part of this series, course 13209.
