Title: Class User Programming
The most important aspect of this course is the focus on the standard library
and specifically the standard containers (formerly referred to as STL or
Standard Template Library). In these chapters students will receive a working
understanding of how to create programs using this powerful library.
Subsequent chapters focus on using this knowledge to
 | Implement object-oriented designs and |
| Build new classes without the traditional tedium of constructors,
destructors and assignment operators. |
Who should attend?
Students who have attended the Type Safe C using C++
for Beginning Programmers.
Duration: 2 days
Two versions
C++ programmers already comfortable with constructors, destructors and
assignment operators should consider Class
User Programming with the C++ Standard Library for Experienced Programmers.
