Video description

In this C++ for Beginners training course, expert author John Dubchak will teach you everything you need to know to start programming with C++. This course is designed for users who are familiar with general programming concepts, although no previous experience with C++ is required.

You will start by learning how to create your first C++ program, then jump into learning about C++ language elements. From there, John will show you how to test C++ programs. This video tutorial also covers functions, pointers, arrays, references, classes, and object-oriented programming. You will also learn about templates and generic programming, as well as the standard template library. Finally, you will learn about error handling in C++, including exceptions, basic error handling, and programming with exceptions.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned everything you need to know to write your own C++ programs. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
