C++ – Fundamentals of Modern C++ Programming (CPP1)

Programming, C, C++

C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in the 1980s by combining the low-level performance of C with object-oriented ideas from Simula 67. Today it is a fast, versatile language for systems and applications where performance, objects and low-level access matter.

C++ is widely used in industrial and embedded domains—automotive, rail, aviation, plus networking and Internet systems. This course is updated for C++20/C++23/C++26 and covers the toolchain and the standard library. New learners may prefer starting with Python first.

THIS TRAINING COURSE WILL HELP YOU:

  • Master C++ syntax and basic program structure
  • Use the C++ toolchain and the standard library
  • Add C++ programming to your skillset

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Beginner programmers with general programming knowledge
  • Aspiring embedded and industrial systems developers
  • DevOps engineers and deployment admins for compiled apps
