What will I learn in this course?

You learn to program in C++. You work with function overloading, namespaces, the string class, I/O streams and file handling. After that you delve into classes, object-oriented principles, dynamic memory allocation, operator overloading, inheritance and polymorphism. Templates, exception handling and the basics of the STL are also covered.

Who is this course for?

This course is intended for programmers who can already program in C and want to make the step to C++. Think of software developers, embedded engineers and technicians who want to learn to work with object-oriented programming professionally.

What does the course look like?

The course is made up of blocks of theory, followed by practical assignments. You work through each part yourself on your laptop and build up your C++ skills step by step. The trainer covers each topic with examples and helps you along during the exercises.

What is the delivery format?

The course is classroom-based. You follow the lessons in a small group at Learnit, together with other participants and under the guidance of an experienced trainer. This way you can ask questions and learn directly from the trainer and your fellow participants.

Who teaches the course?

The course is given by an experienced software development trainer with extensive practical experience in C++. The trainer not only knows the language inside out, but also knows how to use C++ in real projects.

What do I get after the course?

Afterwards you receive a Learnit certificate as proof of attendance. You also take your exercise material and notes with you, so that you can look things up later and go through the exercises again.

Make sure your C basics are fresh. If you refresh your knowledge of pointers, structs, functions and memory use in C, you will be able to switch to C++ more quickly. A working development environment on your laptop is also useful, but not compulsory.

What if I can't attend?

If you are unable to attend, please contact Learnit in good time. We will look at a suitable solution together, for example by moving your participation to a later start date.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes, you will receive a Learnit certificate afterwards. It is good proof of your participation and the material covered, which you can add to your CV or LinkedIn profile.

You can book easily via the course page on the Learnit website. Choose a start date that suits you and complete the registration form. You will then receive a confirmation by email with all the practical information.

C++ Programming Basics course

Name: C++ Programming Basics
Price: 2500.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

C++ is a powerful programming language used for system software, games, embedded applications and large business applications. If you can already program in C, C++ is the logical next step. You gain access to object-oriented techniques, an extensive standard library and modern language constructs. In this course you build on your knowledge of C and discover how to write scalable, maintainable code with C++. You practise with realistic examples and get to work yourself after each module.

Description

This course takes you through the full breadth of C++. You start with the differences between C and C++ and learn how to apply function overloading, references and namespaces. After that you delve into the Standard C++ Library, including the string class, I/O streams and file handling.

Next comes the heart of C++: the class concept. You will learn how to design objects with constructors, destructors and member functions. You will apply the object-oriented principles of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, and see how C++ supports them.

Advanced topics also receive plenty of attention. You work with dynamic memory allocation, copy constructors, operator overloading, static members, friends, virtual functions, abstract classes, multiple inheritance, templates and exception handling. You finish with a first introduction to the STL, including containers, iterators and algorithms.

Topics

Differences between C and C++
Function overloading, references and namespaces
The Standard C++ Library, strings and streams
File I/O with fstream
Classes, constructors and destructors
Dynamic memory allocation and the copy constructor
Operator overloading
Static members, friends and overloading of new and delete
Inheritance, virtual functions and polymorphism
Abstract classes and multiple inheritance
Templates
Exception handling and the STL

Result

After this course you will write C++ programs independently and recognise the strength of object-oriented design. You will work with classes, inheritance and polymorphism and use templates for reusable code. You will use the Standard C++ Library for strings, streams and file handling, and apply the basic components of the STL. You will also know how to manage dynamic memory, overload operators and handle errors properly with exception handling. You will have a solid basis for developing further into a professional C++ programmer.

Target audience

This course is intended for programmers who want to make the move from C to C++. You already have experience of programming in C and now want to learn to work in an object-oriented way in a powerful, widely used language. The course is suitable for software developers, embedded engineers, technical engineers and anyone who wants to learn to write professional C++ code. If you work in a team that uses C++ and want to build up your knowledge quickly, this is also the right place for you.

Teaching method

The course is classroom-based and intensive in its set-up. You work in a small group under the guidance of an experienced software development trainer. Theory and practice alternate continuously: each topic starts with an explanation and examples, after which you immediately get to work on exercises yourself. This way you actively process every concept and ask questions at the moment they matter. You finish each day with a working code environment and concrete knowledge that you can apply straight away.

Prior knowledge

You have a working knowledge of the basic concepts of C programming, such as variables, data types, functions, pointers, structs and control flow. If you do not yet have this knowledge, we recommend taking the Programming in C course first. With that foundation you will get the most out of the pace and depth of this course.

Comments

On completion of the course you receive the official "Programming in C++" certificate from Learnit.

The best training for you

At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.

Moving forward together

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.

Apply it directly in your work

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
