Course Description

This hands on C++ training course presents a thorough introduction to object-oriented programming in C++ for experienced C programmers. The central concepts of C++ syntax and style are taught in the context of using object-oriented methods to achieve reusability, adaptability and reliability. Emphasis is placed on the features of C++ that support abstract data types, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students will learn to apply the process of data abstraction and class design. Practical aspects of C++ programming including efficiency, performance, testing, and reliability considerations are stressed throughout. Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.

Course Prerequisites

Prior programming experience with C.

This is one of the best training classes I have ever taken. Good job HOTT.
— S.G., Data Device Corporation

Good class that was excellently presented with good background material and insight into related language such as Java/UML.
— V.R., Schlumberger

The class and course contents were very well organized and presented. Excellent instructor. One of the best I've had. He was very knowledgeable on the subject and was able to present the information very clearly. Teaching us by writing code examples on the board was also a plus. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and feel like I have a much better understanding of C++ and object oriented programming.
— D.P., Dupont
