Course Description:

'' C++ is undoubtedly one of the most popular programming languages for software development. It brings language enhancements and object-oriented programming support to C. However, C++ is a large and sometimes difficult language, and even with a C background, a programmer needs to understand C++ programming style as well as C++ constructs to get the best out of it. QA Training’s highly successful C++ for C Programmers course has a thorough theoretical and practical coverage of the language. This helps to eliminate the misconceptions and poor programming practice that can cause so many problems.
For experienced C programmers, the course will illustrate how to get the benefits of good software engineering and code reuse by using standard C++ and object-oriented programming techniques in real-world programming situations. There will be ample opportunity to apply these techniques during the practical sessions.
Delegates without extensive C experience should attend our C++ for non-C Programmers course instead.

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 Programmers wishing to learn or improve in C++.
Delegates must have solid experience of C including 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 with less than four months or no recent experience of C should attend the C++ for non-C Programmers course instead.

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
