Overview

About this course

Build a firm command of C++ and object-oriented programming. Over seven days you will review the core language, then work in depth with pointers, references and dynamic memory before designing your own classes with constructors, destructors, copying, inheritance, polymorphism, operator overloading and exceptions.

Each topic is reinforced through hands-on coding labs. The final day is dedicated to preparation for the associate-level C++ certification exam (not to be confused with the accounting qualification of the same initials).

What you'll learn

Write structured C++ programs using the core language features
Use pointers, references and dynamic memory safely
Design classes with constructors, destructors and access control
Apply inheritance and polymorphism with virtual functions
Overload operators for your own types
Handle errors with exceptions
Prepare thoroughly for the associate-level C++ certification exam
