This course is offered under our options program. Early booking is recommended. This course takes experienced C programmers and teaches them the extra skills of Object Oriented Programming and how it's applied in C++ during an intensive 2 day course. Programming skills in the C language, such as taught on our Programming in C course.

Getting the most from your Well House Consultants course [Link] The C++ programming language adds syntax to the C language on which it is based, allowing C to be easily and efficiently expanded into much larger applications. Because C++ maintains C compatability, the resultant language has some quite complex features, making C++ courses especially valuable in getting staff new to the language up to speed.
