Advanced C++ Programming

    

Summary:
This course will teach the student how to solve problems arising from subtleties of the C++ language as well as techniques for improving performance and efficiency.

Duration:
4 Days/Lecture & Lab

Audience:
This course is designed for software engineers, programmers and analysts who have been designing and creating programs using C++ and desire a higher level of technical detail to allow them more flexibility and productivity when writing C++ programs. This course is also designed for anyone desiring the ability to read and understand complex C++ programs for maintenance or learning purposes.

Topics:

• Why object oriented programming?
• A review of C++ and classes nested classes, const and static members, the mutable keyword, explicit constructors, pointers to members
• Hidden class details
• Resolution of overloaded functions
• Operator overloading in detail
• Streams-based file I/O
• Multiple inheritance and virtual base classes
• Protected methods the good and the bad
• New-style casts
• Template classes and functions
• Exception handling
• Run-time type identification
• Namespaces

Prerequisites:
The student should have programming experience in C++ for at least three months to gain the maximum benefit from this course, although experience in other object-oriented programming languages may suffice. Experience with compiler is also helpful but not required.
