C++ Unleashed

C++ is an object-oriented language developed by Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s and released commercially in 1985. During that time he was working on Distributed Operating System. He was very much influenced by Simula67 and wanted to write systems programs in its style but with high efficiency. So, what he did was borrowed the features of Simula67 and incorporated it with C. Thus was born the initial version called “C with Classes”. This was later re-christened as C++.

C++ today is the most popular and widely used Object Oriented Language. The object-oriented paradigm is built on the foundation laid by the structured programming concepts and data abstraction. The fundamental change in OOP is that a program is designed around the data being operated upon rather than upon the operations themselves. The basic idea behind object-oriented language is to combine into single unit, both, the data and the functions that operate on the data. C++ incorporates the popular features of OOP like Classes, Objects, Inheritance and Polymorphism, Templates and Exception Handling at the same time retaining the classic features of C.

From very small applications to large and distributed applications across network it is used. Some of the very well known software are – Adobe Products, Maya, Amazon.com, Google search engine, IBM – O/S 400, Intel V-tune, Scansoft – Dragon Naturally Speaking Software,Symbian OS and so on. The list is endless.

The curriculum below aims at introducing the students to all those aspects of the language that a C++ learner should know to be considered as C++ Competent.

The program is divided in three parts: –

C++ Basics

Data structure Using C++

C++ – The Advanced Topics
