Video description

Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming: C++ is a course designed to introduce us to the principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) using the C++ programming language. This course is suitable for anyone who has a basic understanding of programming concepts but may not have prior experience with OOP.

In this course, you will learn the fundamental concepts of OOP, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. You will also learn how to design and implement classes, objects, and functions in C++, and how to use them to solve real-world problems.

Throughout the course, we will work on a variety of hands-on projects and exercises to practice our skills and apply our knowledge to real-world situations. You will also learn best practices for writing efficient and maintainable C++ code.

Upon completion of this course, we will have a strong foundation in OOP and be able to use C++ to design and implement object-oriented programs.

What You Will Learn

  • Learn how to write functions for efficiency and performance
  • Design and implement C++ classes and objects for code reuse
  • Learn how to implement copy constructors and class member functions
  • Understand the concept of data abstraction and encapsulation
  • Learn how to overload functions and operators in C++
  • Learn how inheritance and virtual functions implement dynamic binding with polymorphism

Audience

This course is designed for novice and beginning programmers who want to develop a fundamental understanding of how to create simple object-oriented programs in C++.

Anyone who wants to expand their profession and increase their earning potential, as well as hobbyists, creatives, or anyone who simply loves learning and wants to understand how software systems work, will all benefit from this course.
