C/C++ Essential Training
Richard Downs

C/C++ Essential Training

with Bill Weinman

 


Widely used for both systems and applications development, the C and C++ programming languages are available for virtually every operating system and are often the best choice for performance-critical applications. In this course, Bill Weinman dissects the anatomy of C and C++, from variables to functions and loops, and explores both the C Standard Library and the C++ Standard Template Library. Features introduced in the C++11 standard (ratified in 2011) are also discussed.

This course serves both as an end-to-end tutorial for those new to the language and a solid reference for experienced C/C++ programmers.
Topics include:
  • Setting up a development environment on Mac, Windows, or Linux
  • Understanding the development cycle
  • Writing statements and expressions
  • Declaring variables and functions
  • Working with arrays and strings
  • Comparing with conditionals
  • Including files and executing macros with the C preprocessor
  • Working with different data types
  • Using operators to perform basic arithmetic and more complicated functions
  • Understanding inheritance
  • C++ template programming
  • Handling system errors and exceptions
  • Using C++ STL containers
  • Using C++11 type inference, Lambda functions, and more
