C++ Programming Essentials
Course Description
This course provides a complete foundation in C++ programming — from syntax and data types to advanced object-oriented design. Through practical examples and coding projects, learners will gain the skills to build efficient, modular, and error-free applications.
Course Outcome :
-
Understand the syntax, control structures, and fundamentals of C++ programming
-
Apply object-oriented principles like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation.
-
Work with files, handle exceptions, and use the Standard Template Library (STL)
-
Develop efficient problem-solving strategies through coding exercises and projects
-
Build real-world applications using modern C++ programming techniques.
