Visual C++ & MFC Programming Training

Course Overview

C++ is a fully compiled object-oriented language, based heavily on C. C++ still holds a valid place in the enterprise, whether you are developing Windows applications or embedded real time operating systems running on black boxes. C++ is widely used in the manufacturing sector for real-time controls and workflow monitoring. C++ is also an excellent stepping stone to move into developing distributable applications and "thick client" windows applications using .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET. Our hands-on C++ training course has been developed for real-world, commercial scenarios by our expert instructors. This course will provide delegates with a sound base in object oriented concepts and the C++ programming language. Practical exercises are used throughout, using either Visual Studio or Visual Studio.NET (Visual C++) and simple code editors. No previous C++ programming experience is required.

Audience

IT professionals who are completely new to C++ programming or those with elementary skills in C++, who need to gain hands-on experience of developing commercial applications.

Prerequisites

COBOL or PL/1 programming experience, and program edit and submission knowledge.
