C++ Programming for C Programmers

Duration: 4 days | Price: Contact a Career Consultant for pricing

Students Will Learn:
  • C++ New Features & Libraries
  • Handling Data
  • Creating and Using Objects
  • Dynamic Memory Management
  • Inheritance & Polymorphism
  • Streaming I/O

Description: This hands on C++ training course presents a thorough introduction to object-oriented programming in C++ for experienced C programmers. The central concepts of C++ syntax and style are taught in the context of using object-oriented methods to achieve reusability, adaptability and reliability. Emphasis is placed on the features of C++ that support abstract data types, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students will learn to apply the process of data abstraction and class design. Extensive programming examples and exercises are provided, with approximately half of class time spent performing hands on programming labs. Practical aspects of C++ programming including efficiency, performance, testing, and reliability considerations are stressed throughout.

Prerequisites: Prior programming experience with C.

Student Testimonials

"This is one of the best training classes I have ever taken. Good job HOTT."
– S.G., Data Device Corporation


"Good class that was excellently presented with good background material and insight into related language such as Java/UML."
– V.R., Schlumberger


"The class and course contents were very well organized and presented. Excellent instructor. One of the best I've had. He was very knowledgeable on the subject and was able to present the information very clearly. Teaching us by writing code examples on the board was also a plus. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and feel like I have a much better understanding of C++ and object oriented programming."
– D.P., Dupont
