The richness of object concepts widely supported by C++ and its openness have made it the most used object language, as well as an industry standard.
During this three day course you will discover the improvements that C++ brings to the C language, and learn how to design and develop robust and reusable classes. You will discover the types of problems that are commonly encountered in C++ programming.

Participants should be experienced C programmers with a good working knowledge of C. Although it is not a prerequisite, previous exposure and experience with C++ is an advantage.
No prior knowledge of object-oriented concepts is required, however attending Object Training's 1 day Object Technology Fundamentals course would be a benefit to you.
