• This course is an introduction to the C++ programming language for those who are already familiar with C syntax and some basic principles of object oriented programming.
• C++ is based on C, but extends the language with features such as function templates, namespaces, and (of course) classes.
• We'll spend a lot of time in the first hour of the course talking about streams, which simplify input and output a great deal.
• Here's a list of what you'll learn: Primitive data types and variables How to create and use namespaces Basic I/O in C++ using streams Using stringstreams: input and output directly from strings File input and output using streams Functions: how they're like C functions, and how they differ Function templates - a look at writing generic code Classes and objects Constructors and destructors Inheritance (Single and Multiple) The idea of friend class members.
• If you've been thinking about learning C++, then this course is a good first step.
