Advanced C++

Overview

This course consists of three modules:
    • An introductory segment reviews topic which includes inheritance, the ANSI C++ Standard Library, templates. Input and Output streams, and practical issues of C++ programming, such as reliability, testing, efficiency and interfacing to C.
    • The second segment covers advanced topics like advanced issues of inheritance and polymorphism. Principles of effective class design including the orthodox canonical form, use of composition, templates and interface inheritance. This training covers runtime type information – RTTI and exception handling.
    • Concepts of Advanced applications of C++ are covered, including smart pointers and reference counting
    • Standard Template Library (STL) is introduced in the 3rd segment.
    • The components of algorithms, iterators and data structures are covered. Illustrations are provided by a number of important containers, such as queues, vectors, lists, stacks and sets.
