  • Understanding OOP principles, inheritance, polymorphism, and templates.
  • Exploring advanced OOP features and an introduction to STL containers.
• Day 3: Advanced Concepts and Practical Application
  • Delving deeper into the STL, file input/output, and streams.

Learning Approach:

• Hands-on Experience: Engage in practical exercises and coding tasks to reinforce theoretical learning.
• Expert Instruction: Learn from seasoned instructors experienced in C++ development.
• Real-World Applications: Apply learned concepts to real-world scenarios, enabling practical skill development.

Who Should Attend:

• Individuals with minimal or no prior experience in C++ programming.
