Course programme

This is a hands on course with a mix of tuition and practical sessions for each technical chapter which reinforce the C++ syntax and object-oriented programming techniques covered in the course.

Prerequisites

  • C Programming
  • C structures (i.e. struct and/or class); Declaration and use of pointers; Function declaration, definition and use with call by value or call by pointer; Dynamic memory allocation (i.e. malloc and free, or new and delete); Multiple source file projects (requiring project files or makes files). You should also have a good appreciation of object-oriented principles or have attended our Object-Oriented Primer course.

Delegates will learn how to

  • Define classes
  • Write class member functions
  • Use constructors, destructors and dynamic memory
  • Write code that is efficient and robust
  • Build new classes from other classes using inheritance, composition and association
  • Use template classes
  • Use operator overloading
  • Design and write classes with polymorphic behaviour

An Overview of OO Programming and C++

  • Review of OOP principles
  • Behaviour, state, identity, inheritance, polymorphism
  • History and evolution of C++
  • Key features of C++
  • C++ as a better and safer C
