C++ Programming Course – Advanced

Is it right for me?

This advanced C++ training course is valuable for engineers, programmers, and analysts involved in the development and/or maintenance of advanced application or system programs in C++.

This is an advanced course - C++ working knowledge and programming experience is essential.

This advanced C++ course covers some of the more complex features of C++, including the STL Standard Template library and collections. Delegates will gain practical experience during the extensive hands-on sessions.

This course may be followed by our "MFC Programming" course, for those wishing to develop graphical Windows programs using C++.

What will I get out of it?

By the end of the course delegates will be able to:

• Exploit the advanced features of C++
• Explain the application of C++ to Object Oriented Programming
• Explain inheritance
• Make use of the STL (Standard Template Library)
• Work with threading
• Make better use, through a deeper understanding, of the C++ programming environments and tools
