C++ Courses in Cape Town

[mystic_frikkie]

Hi does anybody know of a place where I can study c++ part time, I only want to do a basic course? There is nothing on the internet.

There is nothing on the internet.

This has got to be the quote of the year!!!

short course in c++ programming
Code: CSCP1D-B (Year course)
The course is designed to equip learners with practical C++ programming skills. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to develop their own C++ applications.

EDIT: any reason for wanting to learn a dying language?

CTI is one place to start, but rather start a language that is new and is generally the best paying: .Net - virtually any .Net language, Java/Delphi/C# - if you want to learn C++, i recommend you choose C# - it's like C++ just the .Net version and the pay is so much better.

i suggest that you look again - where i got my tutorials from, but i guess you are talking about physical places to study apart from just the ePapers

though learning c++ is not bad idea as you can learn quite a few good raw implementations, theory and practices; c# from my point of view are more in demand though. c++ is definitely not *just* the same and that c# is the .net version of it is incorrect.

 

[andres101]

C# is not like C++, they have similar syntax, but the languages are very different. Neither Java not Delphi are .Net languages.

I would also recommend C#, but a C/C++ course might still be a good idea. It really allows you to appreciate the newer languages (Java/C#).

I mean something like a 5day course, I all ready know Java and web technologies, the thing is I basically want like an introduction, going through the basics of the c++.

Then the other thing is yes, I can do tutorial and everything I can possibly find on the internet, but the place I work for wants to see a paper, to know that I have an understanding of the technology.

That is the problem I have....

Thanx for all the replies

Hi, Im doing mine though UNISA (Certificate in Data metrics) - you can check out their site as they also do a certificate course.

If looking at learning a language for employment possibilities then C++ is not a good route (C# or PHP has more employment options).


EDIT: A bit slow on the post - a bit sick today but google brought these guys up

Strange, I have Delphi .Net sitting on my pc at home and I've worked with it @ one of my previous jobs? Now what? It's fake? oO - you have Delphi Win32 and .Net.

With regards to the Java thing, my bad but you can make the two work together using 3rd party components/tools like JNBridgePro ( http://www.jnbridge.com/ )

I stand corrected about the c# being like c++, but I was referring to their syntax being similar as Andres101 mentioned - I didn't mean they were one and the same - my bad on my failed pronounciation

heres an article which c# / c++ differences -
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Upload...13053AM/ComparisionofCandcsharplanguages.aspx

Necuno,

Thanks for the article - cleared things up for me that I didn't know

"C# is a simple, modern, object oriented, and type-safe programming language derived from C and C++. C# (pronounced C sharp) is firmly planted in the C and C++ family tree of languages, and will immediately be familiar to C and C++ programmers. C# aims to combine the high productivity of Visual Basic and the raw power of C++." <-- this is basically what i was getting at, along with the comment where the code is similar (hence why its familar to c and c++ devs)



This is quite a helpful website, I'm going to pass it onto my mate whose a c# programmer.

Regards

np, found that per accident while i was looking for other related coding things. good read though

Ok can anyone post a good online tutorial site for java,C#,VB.net..

You seriously believe that? For what reason?

If you want to be a programmer, I suggest you learn how to use a search engine.

Perhaps to develop applications for embedded microcontrollers, I would like to know what else you suggest for this ....

Nah this one is:

C++ is not dieing, not by a long shot.

Most Windows and Linux applications are and still are being written in C/C++

In the grand scheme the internet is ever increasing and therefore more web applications pop up everyday, now in that scenario, interpreted languages win hands down but for good ol' desktop computing, C++ is still king, I'm not even mentioning things like micro-controllers.

And if you can program in C++ using OO paradigm you can move to whatever your heart desires and everything will seems so simple

If you're doing web development might as well go Java, their specs are better suited to web applications than .NET, I'll probably get flamed by a .NET fan but the truth hurts.

 

[andres101]

Mostly because it is easier and faster to code in the newer languages.

I'm sure C++ programs will be around for many years to come (like COBAL). But new projects will mostly use the newer languages. Over time there will be fewer and fewer C++ employment opportunities available.

I see now.

You're confusing software development with programming business applications.

using C#/Java to code a winforms application is the tip of the iceberg, what do you think the JRE is coded in? C/C++

 

[andres101]

I expected to get flamed, but I'm disappointed that only three people posted. everyone is free to voice their own opinion and mine is that in a few years time (if not already), you will have more employment choices if you are a C# programmer.

if you would like to debate the issue further, please start you own thread with an appropriate title so that everyone can have their say.
