Fundamentals of C & C++ Programming with the MS Visual Studio EnvironmentCourse id: 0049 SynopsisC and C++ are the programming languages of choice for most applications, and will be the dominant languages for the foreseeable future. This intensive course specifically covers programming and debugging C and C++ applications in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. C & C++ concepts would be covered when necessary, and participants would be taught structured programming styles for system reliability and efficient coding.
Course highlight
Participants will have practical experiences using Visual Studio 2010. What participants say about the course
The following are some verbatim statements from the participants: - The course touch on the basics as well as some of the advance topics -- June 2013
-
I liked the part when I learned about pointers, arrays, structures and and arrays -- June 2013
-
We can try the code on the spot (hands on) -- June 2013
-
A lots of knowledge shared, and gave a very good overview understanding about C++ -- July 2013
-
They are able to conduct very well-- July 2013
What you will learnThis course concentrates on the practical knowledge to allow participants to achieve the following learning outcomes. Upon completing the course, participants would be able to:
- Understand the basics of C, such as operators, flow control, functions, pointers, arrays, structures and preprocessor directives
- Develop console programs written in C with Visual Studio
- Use Visual Studio and third party tools for debugging and improving programs
- Understand the fundamentals of C++ such as objects, classes and namespaces
- Program in the Object Oriented paradigm
Who should attendThis course is particularly suited for engineers who would like to acquire C/C++ programming knowledge. This course is also suited for those who intend to explore Visual Studio in detail.PrerequisiteParticipants are required to have rudimentary C programming experience. C++ programming experience is beneficial, but not mandatory.Course methodologyThis course is presented in a workshop style with example-led lectures interlaced with demonstrations and hands-on practical for maximum understanding.Course duration4 days.Course structure
