This C++ training, delivered at your location by instructor Leor Zolman, presents C++ as a practical tool for increasing program modularity, extensibility, and robustness. By slowly "morphing" a C-like program into a C++ program, it gives a real-world sense of how C++ should be applied.

The course starts with a critique of a moderate-sized C program, and then introduces C++ features to correct the flaws in that program. As the program evolves toward an object-oriented design, the course introduces more C++ features to improve the clarity of the design and the efficiency of the resulting code. Thus, rather than present language features out of context, this course presents each major C++ feature as the solution to a real-world programming problem. In order to give the students a more realistic setting for using the language, the course concentrates on a handful of larger examples and exercises, instead of a smattering of small, isolated examples. Along the way, all the key syntactic features of C++ are introduced and explained in detail.

This seminar does not cover certain advanced language features, such as the STL, advanced file I/O, or GUI programming. While this C++ training stresses the object oriented features in C++, it is not a course in object oriented design or analysis.
