Compare procedural, functional, and object oriented programming, then examine how flowcharts illustrate algorithms and how classes and objects enable abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism in large collaborative C++ projects.
Create a car class with private mileage and weight, public move and stop. Provide getters and setters; define functions outside with scope resolution operator; print details to screen and file.
Explore how constructors initialize objects in C++, including default constructors, two-, three-, and four-argument forms, initialization lists, and member initialization with basic validity checks.
Explore how inheritance in C++ eliminates repetitive code by sharing a vehicle base class among car, airplane, and bicycle. Implement public inheritance with constructors and getters and setters.
Read rectangle data from a text file into a dynamic Rectangle array, compute each rectangle’s length, width, area, and perimeter, and report average area and perimeter.
This is the second programming course offered in university. This course will teach you concepts that are widely used in the software world in fields such as game development, web development, mobile app development, and much more. Having a solid foundation in object oriented programming will help you excel in those fields.

Does this course cover data structures?
No. Data structures is a course by itself, which universities usually offer after completing an object oriented programming course.

What's next?
I'll work on a short After Effects video editing/animation course, then you can expect a few web development courses. In particular, I'll create a course on HTML and CSS (two of the core technologies for building websites), and Wordpress (a powerful tool that allows you to build websites using a simple drag and drop interface without using any code.
