C and C++ for Non-C Programmers

( SL-145B )

Course Description

This course teaches practicing programmers new to the C and C++ programming languages how to program using C and C++ in a non-object-oriented manner. This course is also a follow-on course to "C and C++ for Nonprogrammers" (SL-100) and prepares programmers for the course "C++ and Object-Oriented Programming" (SL-240). Important: Students with "thin" programming backgrounds are urged to take SL-100 first. Students who already know C programming at the level of SL-145 should proceed directly to SL-240. The course offers extensive laboratory experience. Solutions are provided for the laboratory exercises.
