C++ basic programming

Lifelong learning for working professionals

Course Summary

C++ is the standard language for implementing many forms of object-oriented solutions, but it is also one of the most difficult languages to fully master. In this course, we describe the language’s features and the standard library to provide a solid foundation for further work.

The course is a mix of theory and practical exercises.

Note: This training requires a minimum number of participants and is therefore not covered by Informators’ start guarantee. We will contact you in good time if the course is not going to take place.

Course Objective

By the end of the course, you will have an understanding of how to develop professionally in C++ and write efficient C++ code.

Target Audience

Developers who have recently started working with C++. Note that this is not an introduction to programming.

Prerequisites

You need to have experience with programming in another programming language. Knowledge of object-oriented development is a plus.

Certification

This course has no certification.

Trainer

This course is delivered in collaboration with Mindroad.

Mindroad is an engineering company that offers advanced training in software development, focusing on embedded systems, methodologies and workflows, as well as application development. Their instructors combine engineering work in software development with conducting training sessions, allowing them to share their experiences from their daily work.
