Frequently Asked Questions

What is this course about?

This course covers the professional use of C++ as it applies to design patterns, use of the ANSI/ISO Standard Library, and use of a modern professional toolset, including an object database. Specific advanced language features also covered in the course are: RTTI, templates and exceptions.

You also learn the three key components in becoming a skilled C++ programmer:

  • C++ knowledge: especially the new ANSI/ISO C++ features and how and when to use them
  • Design skills: including how to create object-oriented (OO) designs and convert them into C++ solutions, including standard design patterns and coding idioms
  • Library and tool knowledge: effective use of off-the-shelf libraries and tools, both standard and proprietary productivity gains and enhanced reliability

Who will benefit from this course?

This course benefits software developers who have recently completed an introductory C++ course. It also benefits more experienced, self-taught programmers through its coverage of OO software design, modern tools and libraries.

What background do I need?

You should have a basic knowledge of C++ programming. You should understand the following concepts as implemented in C++:

  • Classes and objects
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism or virtual functions
  • Function overloading

Studies show that it takes about six months to become a competent C++ programmer. You need to have experience equivalent to one or more of the following:

What compiler, tools and libraries does the course use?

This course employs the following compiler, tools and libraries:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
  • Together Control Center (UML CASE tool)

What are the hands-on exercises like?

Participants bring a poorly structured application up to professional standards using design patterns, standard and third party libraries, as well as advanced coding techniques.

Approximately 50 percent of the course time is spent on the hands-on exercises. You are provided with two sets of instructions for each exercise in your application-building process. This enables both inexperienced and experienced participants to succeed at their own level. Additional exercises are also provided for highly experienced students.
