Designing Reusable Code in C++( WT-1012-180 )
| Course Description |  |
This course teaches students the basics of polymorphism and inheritance, focusing on function and operator overloading and on creating class hierarchies. Students will gain skills throughout the course that help them build adaptable, reusable object-oriented C++ code.
This course requires a text editor. Students will need to use both Netscape and Internet Explorer version 4.0 browsers to complete some exercises in this course. This course also requires a computer running Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX.
eMentoring Services are included with this course.
Course length: 15 hours
