This course provides a practical hands-on introduction to the C++ programming language. Participants will learn the central concepts of the C++ language, with emphasis on the use of object-oriented techniques in writing robust code.

Through practical experience and exercises understand the central concepts of C++.

• Describe object-oriented programming techniques
• Use the syntax and semantics of the C++ programming language
• Create new classes
• Write an object-oriented program in C++
• Discovering both initialization and assignment
• Describe the process of data abstraction
• Create new data types using inheritance
• Discover about polymorphism
• Use C++ class libraries
• Implement exception handling
• Write template functions and classes
