February 8, 2018

In the course “Introduction to C++ Programming” you will be introduced to programming principles in C++, and learn about some of its operators and functions and how to create objects and classes in C++. You will learn about the compilation process of a C++ program, about variables in C++, how they are strongly typed and what that means. You will learn about the fundamentals operations of C++, about loops and the switch statement, and about operators in C++. You will also learn about functions, commenting, creating header files, about using const to make sure variables don’t change their values, and what an object is and how classes help you in creating objects. You will learn about initialization, encapsulation, and constructors. You will also learn about making const objects and problems that can occur with creating const objects.

This free Alison course will be of great interest to programmers or developers who would like to learn more about the C++ programming language.
