In this course, I will be teaching the art of programming and software development using C++. I will be covering the basics of programming and talk about important concepts of C++ and Object Oriented Design and Programming.

Topics Covered

* Introduction to computers and system setup * Programming - basic constructs (understanding I/O, program execution etc.) * Basic Control Structures (If/else, while, for ,switch etc.) * Functions - usage and parameters * Data Types - in-built, arrays, pointers, strings etc. * Dynamic Allocation concepts with new and delete. * Distinction between sequential programming and introduction to Object Oriented Programming * Classes - as user defined data type, definition, construction, destruction, dynamic allocation. * Classes in action - Inheritance (multiple, private, protected and public), abstract class, function overloading, function overriding, . * Classes in action part II - virtual functions, runtime polymorphism, operator overloading. * C++ File I/O * Preprocessor directives basics * System design project with C++ * (Optional) C++/OOP FAQs asked in technical interviews.

Who should attend

- Beginners who are interested in picking up programming - BE/B.Tech./BCA/MCA students who plan to learn programming or improve their development skills. - This course also covers a vast amount of syllabus of XI/XII Computer Science students.

Pre-requisites

* Basic understanding of How to use a computer is required. * Should be able to perform operations like install programs, open a file, close a file. * Have a basic understanding of what programming is although may not know any programming. * previous programming exposure will be helpful but necessary.

What you need to bring

* Many of the classes might contain programming assignments or live demo, so it will be useful if students can have a system ready for programming and executing C++ code.

Key Takeaways

* Learning of how to program and understand the basic building blocks. * Clarity in concepts of C++ and OOP which is required in interviews. * Exposure to how programming is done and how software is designed in OOP. * A demo project will be created and students will be mentored on how to develop their project.
