Course Description

C++ is the object-oriented superset of ANSI C. This course provides students with a comprehensive study of the C++ Programming Language. The course stresses the object paradigm including classes, inheritance, virtual functions, and templates in the development of C++ programs. Lab exercises reinforce the lectures. Students should have taken the Software Development for Non-Programmers and Introduction to C courses or have equivalent knowledge.

Course Duration: 2 Months

Classes: 5 Days In a Week
