C++ practical course for C, C# Java, JavaScript or Python programmers
You can already program in a language other than C++ and are familiar with the basic concepts of a modern programming language such as variables, data types, functions and data structures? You want to learn C++ quickly and effectively, be it for an ongoing project or because you want to migrate a C++ code into another programming language? Or you want to understand foreign C++ code and write unit tests for it or extend the existing code? This course will take you to the Intermediate level in C++ in just 3 days, learning the language in an effective, lively and sustainable way. Learn more about this C++ course...

Prerequisites
This C++ course is intended for people with programming knowledge in another programming language such as Java, C#, C, JavaScript or Python, or for people who have basic C++ knowledge to the extent of our C++ for non-programmers. The aim of the course is to learn the specific language elements and language concepts of C++ in a short period of time and also to cover selected intermediate topics.
If you have no experience or knowledge of another programming language and are new to the programming world and would like to learn C++, please check out the C++ for Non-Programmers course.

Description
This three-day course provides a deeper insight into the C++ programming language. The course is intended for users with prior experience in C++ who want to develop a better understanding of the language and start using it for larger projects and on a wider set of problems. The participants get instructive problems to solve using the newly learned techniques.
What do you learn on the first day?
You learn the specific topics of C++ such as pointers and references, structure and union. Of course, you also learn the basic concepts of object-oriented programming with C++. You learn how to declare C++ classes and how to define constructors and create objects with them, how inheritance and polymorphs work in C++. You will also quickly learn the syntax of control flow such as conditions and loops in C++, so that you will be able to write C++ code by the end of this day.
What do you learn on the second day?
Today we get into the Standard Template Library STL. We look at the different data structures that this STL gives us out of the box as well as the STL algorithms. We look at the sequential containers but also the associative containers, adaptive STL, STL iterators. You will also learn about Function Objects and the concept of the Smart Pointer.
What do you learn on the third day?
Now we will look at how we can process data more efficiently with C++. First you will learn Lambda Expression, Behaviour Parameterisation and how to work with streams. Then you will learn how to edit files with C++. The input/output library in C++ and how we can use streams with it. Of course, exception handling and working with beta flags are also part of the course. Finally, there is a C++ project, whether it is an administration system or a mini-game, which puts into action what has been learned in all 3 days and highlights the connections. In all three days, there are always many examples and small programming tasks, so that you not only learn the important C++ concepts in theory, but also directly implement them in practice and thus learn C++ quickly and effectively in practice.
What is the difference between C++ For non-programmers training and the other C++ training courses at Münchner Akademie?
at the Munich Academy?
- After C++ for Beginners, you have C++ Basic Level
- After C++ for Programmers you have C++ Intermediate Level
- After C++ for Advanced you will have C++ Advanced Level
The C++ training for programmers is made for people with previous programming knowledge. Therefore, we will learn all topics from C++ for Beginners on the first day quickly, very compactly and quickly with many examples and small workshops. From the second day onwards, we will continue with selected intermediate topics such as STL, Lambda Expressions, Streams and C++ I/O. The pace is relatively fast and targeted to your needs and speed. We make sure that the groups are as homogeneous as possible, because this means that everyone learns faster and better. Since all participants should be familiar with another programming language and most of the technical terms from this course are more or less known to them, we can move quickly with the pace and adapt it agilely to the wishes of the participants.
If you are new to the programming world, please check out C++ Course for Beginners! If these topics are all familiar to you, please check out the C++ for Advanced course.
Where do we go from here?
After this course, you will be at intermediate level in C++ and will be able to master simple to intermediate programs in C++ consisting of several classes. If you want to learn more exciting advanced topics in C++ effectively, then check out our advanced C++ course. If you are more interested in testing C++ code, we recommend the Unit Testing with C++ course. If you want to produce very good and clean C++ code right from the start, then the Clean Code with C++ is the ideal course for you. If you want to realise software architecture with C++, then we recommend our Clean Software Architecture with C++. We would be very happy to welcome you to the C++ practical courses or other courses of the Munich Coding Academy.
