C++ Training
|
This 5 day course is designed for developers who do not have any prior experience in a C-like language. We have been using and training C++ since 1992 and can offer a wealth of experience for your benefit. The course covers the C++ language without assuming a particular target environment although we can also offer modules on particular libraries such as MFC if required. The course includes several standard projects and a large number of optional exercises. The 5 day course costs £2950 in total for up to 6 students, plus VAT and the instructor's reasonable expenses. Each student beyond 6 would cost £20 for the additional course materials. If you are interested in this course, please contact us by email at
