C++ Training Overview
This C++ Programming training course presents the syntax and constructs of the ISO Standard C++11 programming language. Basic, intermediate, and advanced techniques are taught. All features shown are applicable to all C++11 variants (on Windows, Unix, and Linux systems). Other versions of C++ are happily taught upon request.
Location and Pricing
Accelebrate offers instructor-led enterprise training for groups of 3 or more online or at your site. Most Accelebrate classes can be flexibly scheduled for your group, including delivery in half-day segments across a week or set of weeks. To receive a customized proposal and price quote for private corporate training on-site or online, please contact us.
In addition, some courses are available as live, instructor-led training from one of our partners.
Objectives
All attendees will:
- Review object-oriented programming as needed
- Perform basic I/O operations with C++ code
- Define and use classes
- Understand arrays, pointers, and references (and memory in C++ more generally)
- Master defining and using functions, including advanced features such as lambdas
- Properly leverage inheritance in your code
- Accelerate your development with the Standard Template Library
Prerequisites
All students should have coding experience with the standard C language or any other object-oriented language.
