This four day training course will teach participants the fundamentals of the C++ language and explain the main concepts of object-oriented programming. In addition, it addresses some programming techniques with which the participants can improve the quality and maintainability of their C++ code.

The training is aimed at students and professionals with some programming experience in a structured language such as Fortran, Java, or Python. Experience with C is useful, but not essential. After the training course, the participants should be able to write object-oriented C++ programs that are structured, readable, and maintainable.

The training course will be presented by Dr. Ir. Erik Jan Lingen and Ir. Mark Groen. Both trainers have a thorough knowledge of the C++ language coming from many years of software development: for example, DRG’s C++ Software Development Kit Jive is being used by several academic institutions. Additionally, by assisting new users, who are often novice C++ programmers, with this SDK over the years, has provided a good insight into the issues and pitfalls typically run into by new programmers.

Based on these experiences the course has been developed. Constantly monitoring the user satisfaction and listening to the suggestions of the participants has resulted in a training course that is highly rated by the participants.
