On-Site Training Seminar:
C++ for Non-C Programmers
Details of this C++ Training
Who Should Attend:
- Experienced high-level language programmers with little or no
C background who are seeking a fast-track introduction to C++.
Prerequisites:
- Due to the large quantity of material presented in this course, participants should have some programming experience in a high-level language such as Pascal, PL/1 or ADA.
- Assembly language, COBOL or BASIC experience alone can be sufficient if you are a fast study, but if that's all you've got be prepared for a very challenging five days of training!
Format:
Five days of training, alternating between lecture and hands-on
lab exercises. Students will also be encouraged to complete two
or three hours of reading each evening in preparation for the next
day's material.
Supplied Materials:
Each student will receive a copy of the textbook C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Prata, along with a disk containing all course examples, lab exercises and solutions.
