C and C++ for Non-Programmers

( SL-100C )

Course Description

This first course, of a two-part course sequence, teaches people with little or no programming experience how to program using the C and C++ languages in a non-object-oriented manner. After taking this course and "C and C++ for Non-C Programmers" (SL-145), students will be prepared to take "C++ and Object-Oriented Programming" (SL-240).

The C++ language consists of four parts: (1) ANSI/ISO C, (2) C++ procedural enhancements to ANSI/ISO C that enable programmers to use "C++ as a better C," (3) data abstraction capabilities and (4) object-oriented programming capabilities. "C and C++ for Nonprogrammers" (SL-100) and "C and C++ for Non-C Programmers" (SL-145) rigorously teach only the first part of C++, namely ANSI/ISO C.

Important: People with "thin" programming experience should take SL-100 before proceeding to SL-145 (SL-145 is intended for practicing programmers).
