Being a general-purpose programming language, C++ has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. Learning the skills to be biased toward system programming and embedded programming, resource-constrained, and large systems, with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use are essential building blocks of application development. 

This course takes a practical and incremental approach. It helps you gain deep knowledge on how to design and build an amazing application using C++. It will first teach you how to set up the environment, where you’ll write your very first program. Then you’ll gently move onto some advanced and interesting topics such as Object-Oriented Programming, Inheritance, and Memory Allocation. Moving further, you will gain an in-depth analysis of classes and the associated OOP concepts, which will empower you to implement the concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) in real life scenarios. Finally, you will learn to build portable cross-platform applications using the latest C++ features. 

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Getting Started with C++ Programming begins by introducing you to the essentials of C++. You will learn how to set up the environment, where you’ll write your very first program. You’ll then work with the basic components and standard library functions that make up the language, and from there, you’ll gently move onto some advanced and interesting topics such as Object-Oriented Programming, Inheritance, and Memory Allocation (all of which will help with better performance and testing). This course is designed and developed so you seamlessly get acquainted with C++ and begin developing applications in no time.

The second course, Building Blocks of Application Development with C++ will introduce you to object-oriented programming (OOP). It includes an in-depth analysis of classes and the associated OOP concepts, which will empower you to implement the concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) in real life scenarios. It also provides you with the essential know-how to tackle challenges while writing your code. Toward the end of each section, you’ll be introduced to the practical implementation of the concepts. 

The third course, High-Performance Applications with C++ will help you master your developing skills with C++. With real-world, practical examples explaining each concept, the course will begin by introducing you to the latest features in C++ 17. It encourages clean code practices in C++ in general and demonstrates the GUI app-development options in C++. By the end of the course, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of the language and its various facets. 

About the Authors:

• Richard Snyder is currently working as a Senior Software Engineer and writes a diverse amount of computer software applications. Working as an engineer requires the ability to be adaptable to the customer needs to be based on the requirements they give for the computer application to be built. This enables a wide range of technical knowledge to be used from front-end design, middle tier, or back-end development. As a software engineer, Richard uses his years of experience working in technologies such as C/C++/C#, Java, Perl, Python, Groovy on Grails, Ruby on Rails, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, MongoDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL to design the best fitting application for the customer’s needs.

  
  

• Biplab Kumar Modak is an open source software developer. He has 20 years of software development experience in various languages. He is one of the core developers of Code::Blocks—an open source, cross-platform IDE that supports various compilers. He has over 10 years’ experience in open source development with C++. He is also familiar with various popular languages such as C, C#, Visual Basic, VBA, Pascal, Python, and R. He has over 15 years of experience with C++. His grasp and capability in C++ is highly credited.

  
  

  He is also interested in database-related development, OpenGL, Multi-threaded programming, and web development. His open source development stints have taught him how to deal with multiple compilers on various operating systems. They also helped him develop a better understanding on the subject. When it comes to delivering theory along with practical usage of C++ on various platforms, he considers himself one of the most suitable one to show you the practical side of application development with C++.
