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

OET for Nurses: Why Taking OET is Often the Right Choice

1. OET for Nurses: It’s tailored to your profession If you’re a nurse, you are probably comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, dealing with difficult patients, making decisions under pressure, and understanding complex information quickly. These skills make you perfectly suited to the various OET sections, as each one mirror real-life scenario that nurses face in the workplace. The benefit of preparing for tasks like these is that nurses get a chance to practice important professional skills.It’s crucial to remember that moving to another country usually comes with massive cultural shifts on top of the language differences. Preparing for the OET allows nurses the chance to practice highly valuable professional skills that may look slightly different in a Western context, like bedside manner expectations and appropriate follow-up questioning procedure. In addition to learning the appropriate English concepts to pass the test, nurses get to improve skills that wil...

Why Learn English Through News?

Image
Learn Relevant, Up-to-date Vocabulary Language is about making sense of real-life issues. News programs focus on issues that matter to you and on how you live your life. It makes sense to learn English in a context you can actually use. Reading or listening to news keeps you up-to-date with the current discourse (conversations people are having) in English. Not only will you pick up essential vocabulary for political, economic and cultural issues, but you’ll also learn how these issues are framed and approached in the Anglophone world. Improve both Listening and Reading Skills The news is accessible in many forms: broadcast on TV, aired on the radio (or through podcasts), and printed in newspapers or displayed on websites. English news articles are written clearly , making them perfect for learning new vocabulary. Similarly, TV news reports are always spoken with a clear, standard accent from the region (like the U.S., U.K., etc.). This will help boost your ...

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 ...
