Standard C++ Programming Course

About this course

The Standard C++ Programming course covers the core language features defined by the ISO C++ standards.

The emphasis is on writing portable and maintainable C++ code, understanding resource management, and applying object-oriented design principles. The course also highlights how C++ extends and differs from C.

This course is intended for delegates who already have practical experience with the C programming language.

Excellent course

J. Hattingh

SAAB Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Very valuable and interesting course.

B. Helfrich

Parsec Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
After many attempts to build a true foundation for my C++ skills (admittedly cheaper), I am very glad to say that this course has given it to me, thanks for that!

J. Kirstein

Q Link Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
This course has given me a sense of direction into my new role as a C++ developer. It has pointed me to relevant reference material as well as encouraged good programming standards.

Q Link Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Ideal learning environment and best in class teaching for subjects. Offline and online material very helpful.

P. van Jaarsveld

Vodacom Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Renier is a dedicated programmer with a deep passion for understanding both the core principles of programming and the foundational rules that support them. His teaching approach is meticulous and thorough, ensuring that the material is built from the ground up. Renier goes the extra mile to provide well-organized notes, filled with detailed comments, and offers a wealth of examples to reinforce learning. His enthusiasm for empowering the next generation of programmers is evident in how he encourages self-reliance and critical thinking in his students. Over the week-long course, we covered the essentials of C++, delving into numerous exceptions and edge cases. Thank you, Renier, for an exceptional learning experience.

Intended audience

This course is useful if

  • You work with or maintain software written in C++.
  • You are transitioning from C to C++.
  • You use C++ but want a more structured understanding of the language.
  • You develop or support embedded systems using C++.

Prerequisites

Prior experience with the C language is assumed.

Delegates should have knowledge equivalent to the Standard C Programming course. Delegates should be comfortable with core C concepts such as data types, control flow, functions, expressions, and basic pointer usage.
