The course gives students an introduction to the main elements of the C++ programming language.

The aim is to teach participants the fundamental understanding of language features such as classes, inheritance, function overloading, references, templates, lambda expressions, etc. Furthermore, the aim is to teach some standard library features, like containers, algorithms and iterators.

The course starts with a look at C++ objects, types, values, statements, and expressions, functions, classes, input-output flows and finishes with move semantics, generic programming, and some common design patterns.

Course Topics:

• Abstraction and basic elements of language

• User defined types, variables, functions, namespaces

• Inheritance and polymorphism (example graphic library)

• Pointers, C-style arrays, vectors

• More about vectors, templates, STL

• More about STL: list, set, map, algorithms

• Move semantics, smart pointers, design patterns

Hardware (required): No special requirements

Software: No special requirements

Course Typically Offered: Students will get elementary knowledge about the C++ programming language. This course also has additional modules that introduce them to embedded programming.

Prerequisites: Students should have basic knowledge of programming, be able to write simple programs in some programming language, build them and run them in a development environment.

Next Step: The next step is Modern C ++ or bundle that contains Advanced C, Modern C++ and Embedded Linux courses.

Course Number: NIT-CE-09

Duration: 2.00 units (~20 live teaching hours, ~40 hours of individual practice and preparation work)
