C++ Certified Associate Programmer

The course fully covers the basics of programming in the “C++” programming language and
presents the fundamental notions and techniques used in object-oriented programming.
It starts with universal basics, not relaying on object concepts and gradually extends to advanced issues
observed in the objective approach.

Learning objectives

  • To familiarize the trainee with the universal concepts of computer programming.
  • To present the syntax and semantics of the “C++” language as well as basic data types offered by the language
  • To discuss the principles of the object-oriented model and its implementation in the “C++” language
  • To demonstrate the means useful in resolving typical implementation problems with the help of standard “C++” language libraries

Course outline

  • Introduction to compiling and software development
  • Basic scalar data types, operators, flow control, streamed input/output, conversions
  • Declaring, defining and invoking functions
  • Strings processing, exceptions handling, dealing with namespaces
  • Object-oriented approach and its vocabulary
  • Dealing with classes and objects
  • Defining overloaded operators
  • Introduction to STL

Chapters:Absolute basics

  • machine and  high-level programming languages, compilation process
  • obtaining the machine code: compilation process
  • recommended readings
  • your first program
  • variable – why?
  • integers:  values, literals, operators
  • characters: values, literals, operators
  • dealing with streams and basic input/output operations

Flow control and more data types

  • how to control the flow of the program?
  • floating point types: values, literals, operators
  • more integral types: values and literals
  • loops and controlling the loop execution
  • logic, bitwise and arithmetic operators

Functions

  • functions: why do you need them?
  • declaring and invoking functions
  • side effects
  • different methods of passing parameters and their purpose
  • default parameters
  • inline functions
  • overloaded functions

Accessing data and dealing with exceptions

  • converting values of different types
  • strings: declarations, initializations, assignments
  • string as the example of an object: introducing methods and properties
  • namespaces: using and declaring
  • exception handling

Fundamentals of the object-oriented approach

  • class: what does it actually mean?
  • where do the objects come from?
  • class components
  • constructors
  • referring to objects
  • static members
  • classes and their friends
  • defining and overloading operators

Class hierarchy

  • base class, superclass, subclass
  • inheritance: how does it work?
  • types of inheritance
  • inheriting different class components
  • multiple inheritance

Classes – continued

  • polymorphism: the notion and the purpose
  • virtual methods: declaring and using
  • inheriting virtual methods
  • abstraction and abstract classes

Exceptions – dealing with expected and unexpected problems
  • what is an exception?
  • catching and throwing exceptions
  • different classes and hierarchy of exceptions
  • defining your own exceptions

Prerequisite Courses

The “C” programming language course – associate level (suggested)

WorkFORCE Assessment for Job Fit

About the WorkFORCE Assessment for Job Fit Hiring a candidate who looks good on paper, but does not come through on the job, can cost your business both time and money. Success at work takes more than technical skills and knowledge. You need people with the right behaviors, attitudes and motivation. IQ tests and technical assessments do not tell the whole story. Identify the candidate most likely to succeed The research-based WorkFORCE Assessment for Job Fit, a 20–25 minute, web-based recruiting tool, measures six behavioral competencies associated with critical factors of workplace success. You are provided with an Overall Job Fit Score that indicates the candidate’s likelihood of success in the position. This score is tailored to the type of job you are filling and the behavioral skills candidates need to perform successfully in that job. Used in conjunction with interviews and knowledge-based testing, the WorkFORCE Assessment for Job Fit gives you a more complete under

Stylistic Techniques Used For Writing - Voiceskills

Image
Writing is a craft. Skilled writers incorporate stylistic techniques into their writing for rhetorical effect. In other words, stylistic techniques enhance a piece of writing’s aesthetic, emotional or intellectual appeal. Certainly, the content of a text is important, but a writer who can organize his ideas in a unique and provocative way can increase his/her writing’s allure. Varied Sentence Structure English allows for four main sentence constructions: simple, compound, complex and compound-complex, and skilled writers use all of these. Using too many simple sentences in a row sounds monotonous. A simple sentence consists of one subject and one verb, as in “She laughed.” The other sentence constructions incorporate more subject-verb patterns. Conciseness No matter the genre, whether poetry or essay writing, skilled writers aim for conciseness. Conciseness in writing means eliminating any unnecessary words. Writing all sentences in active voice, where the subject precedes the

Improving English Listening With Independent Study

Image
  There are those who prefer to study English alone and here are some tips to get better at listening. Study a little bit at a time. Only have a few minutes per day to study? Perfect. Believe it or not, that’s even better than having a lot of time to study. If you are someone with a habit of studying around 15-20 minutes a day instead of a few hours in one sitting, actually you are studying using the method of micro learning. Simply speaking, micro learning is dividing your task into very small tasks that can be done in about five minutes. For example, imagine that you’re trying to study the present perfect. You can micro learn it by dividing it into: 1. Affirmative sentences; 2. Negative sentences; 3. Questions; 4. Use; 5. Words that trigger the present perfect. This is just an example. You can divide your task the way you want, always trying to remember that every individual task should last five minutes at most. There are a lot of scientific studies that prove that lea
