More about this course

This advanced C++ training course aims to take C++ programmers to a new level of understanding and competence in their use of the C++ language and libraries. The course builds on existing knowledge, showing how to use basic language features correctly, it then covers templates, the language feature that underlies the Standard Template Library and most recent advances in C++. The third part majors on OO development, and shows how popular idioms and design patterns can be implemented in C++. The final two sections look at the two main libraries used by C++ programmers today: the Standard Template Library and the Boost libraries.
