Learn C++ in Less than 4 Hours – for Beginners

Salepage link: At HERE. Archive:

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.
