    Short course

  • Location

    Islington

This course is for those who can already program in a procedural language such as C, using control structures such as if, for, while, etc. It covers the fundamentals of the C++ programming language and shows how to program using object-oriented principles. It is fully hands-on, and students gain experience in designing simple but powerful object-oriented applications and in writing code using the C++ language. Feedback is given throughout the course so that participants have as much opportunity as possible to improve their programming technique. Topics covered include C++ language features, key standard library objects overview, and OOP features: classes, objects, abstraction, interfaces, constructors/destructors, overloading, inheritance, polymorphism and templates.

C/C++ short course tutor Peter Woodward talks inspiration and how you can take your programming to the next level.

Teaching and Assessment

Provide a series of informal online homeworks spread out during the course - and suggestions are provided on enhancing existing programs. I also provide online quizzes to check learning. This course uses the Moodle virtual learning environment (VLE) source codes, example programs and teaching material can be accessed at anytime on the Internet. We also use online forums for questions and answers allowing students to post questions to other students and the lecturer.
