C++ Level 1

     

Private courses can be held at your site or one of our training venues, and can be customised to fit your requirements.

You can choose to have a private course based on an existing outline or you can choose the most applicable lessons from a number of different outlines and consolidate them into one course.

We can also write bespoke courses to fit your specific requirements, whether you require training on a standard application or a bespoke inhouse system.

Key Topics

C++ Program Components
Basic program components; functions, statements, file inclusion, input and output, keywords, variables, operators.
Data and Operators
Identifiers, fundamental data types and their operators, constants, operator precedence, conversions, casting, scope.
Structured Data Types
Enumerations, data structures, aggregation, Standard Library string class.
Control Flow
Boolean operators, conditional selection, iteration.
Functions
Functional modularity, passing data in and out of functions, pass by value and reference, member functions, optimization with inline.
Arrays and Vectors
Basic containers; arrays and the standard template library vector class, access through subscripting and member functions, C type strings.
Classes
Object-orientation and classes, encapsulation, automatic construction, copying and conversions.
Pointers
Concept of indirection, null pointers, using pointers with functions and arrays, pointer arithmetic.
Dynamic Memory
Accessing the heap or freestore with new and delete, dynamic arrays, automatic destruction.
Object Relationships
Aggregation and association, delegation, managing custody of dynamic memory, copying custodial objects.
Operator Overloading
Class operators, overloading with globals or members, lvalue operators, copy assignment.
Streams
Working with the Standard Streams; file streams, manipulators, string streams.
STL Containers
Introducing templates and the main Standard Template Library container classes; vector, deque, list, set and map. Guidelines on choosing the right container for the job.
Iterators
Using Iterators to access the elements of Standard Template Library containers, introducing the standard algorithms.
Inheritance
Object-orientation and inheritance. Creating and using derived classes, vertical delegation, standard conversions.
Polymorphism
Declaring and using virtual functions and the need for virtual destructors. Pure virtual functions and abstract classes.
Advanced Features
Overview of some advanced features; exception handling, namespaces, multiple inheritance, smart pointers, template functions, extending the STL.
