CIS 227 - C++ Programming II

Description
This course reviews C++ programming basics such as variables, repetition statements, decision statements, functions, vectors, pointers, classes and constructors. Students develop Object Oriented Programming (OOP) as it applies to C++. This course covers C++ class destructors, copy class functions, destructors, friends functions, inheritance, and polymorphism. The course then transitions slightly to look at Visual C++, and implement dialog applications. Additional topics that are covered include templates and Standard Template Library.
