OOP Using C++

This series is designed for programmers who want to learn C++ to develop object-oriented programs. It covers the parts of a C++ program, variables, constants, expressions, statements, and functions, and examines classes and objects and how these components work in the program flow. The series also discusses pointers, references, arrays, inheritance, and functions. Advanced topics covered include streams, templates, exceptions and error handling, libraries, and object-oriented analysis and design.

Syllabus

WEEK 1

Begins with a basic explanation of C++ components and quickly progresses to writing real object-oriented programs. Sample listings, complete with sample output and an analysis of code, illustrate the topics of the day.

• Day 1: Getting Started
• Day 2: The Parts of a C++ Program
• Day 3: Variables and Constants
• Day 4: Expressions and Statements
• Day 5: Functions
• Day 6: Basic Classes
• Day 7: More Program Flow
• Week 1 in Review
• Reference

WEEK 2

Begins with how pointers and references work and then moves on to the advanced use of functions. It also presents arrays and collections, explores inheritance and polymorphism and ends with a discussion of special classes and friends. Sample listings, complete with sample output and an analysis of code, illustrate the topics of the day.

• Day 8: Pointers

• Reference

WEEK 3

Begins with a discussion of advanced inheritance and then moves on to cover streams in depth. It also presents advanced tricks of the preprocessor, discusses object-oriented analysis and design, and introduces templates. Week 3 ends with an explanation of exceptions, standard libraries, and bit manipulation. Sample listings, complete with sample output and an analysis of code, illustrate the topics of the day.
