C/C++ Essential Training
11h 31m Beginner Jun 28, 2012

Widely used for both systems and applications development, the C and C++ programming languages are available for virtually every operating system and are often the best choice for performance-critical applications. In this course, Bill Weinman dissects the anatomy of C and C++, from variables to functions and loops, and explores both the C Standard Library and the C++ Standard Template Library. Features introduced in the C++11 standard (ratified in 2011) are also discussed.

This course serves both as an end-to-end tutorial for those new to the language and a solid reference for experienced C/C++ programmers.

Topics include:
Setting up a development environment on Mac, Windows, or Linux
Understanding the development cycle
Writing statements and expressions
Declaring variables and functions
Working with arrays and strings
Comparing with conditionals
Including files and executing macros with the C preprocessor
Working with different data types
Using operators to perform basic arithmetic and more complicated functions
Understanding inheritance
C++ template programming
