Objective

Course Overview C++ is a powerful, high-performance programming language that forms the backbone of many modern software systems, from real-time embedded systems to game engines and enterprise applications. Known for its fine-grained control over system resources and support for multiple programming paradigms, C++ remains a foundational language for professional software development across industries. This course, C++ Programming: a Comprehensive Treatment (Cisco Academy Edition), offers an in-depth and structured pathway into the world of C++ programming. Built upon three professional-level courses from the Cisco Networking Academy – C++ Essentials 1, C++ Essentials 2, and C++ Advanced – the program is designed to equip learners with both fundamental and advanced C++ skills. It’s suitable for beginners with no prior programming experience, as well as those looking to deepen their understanding of modern C++. The course is delivered through Cisco’s Skills for All learning platform and supported by Metropolia Moodle, where students complete module-specific quizzes and a final assessment. Since 1997, Cisco Networking Academy has helped over 20 million learners worldwide develop tech skills through trusted curricula and global certification pathways. *** Benefits and Prepare for Careers Whether you aim to work in software engineering, systems programming, game development, or embedded systems, this course prepares you for real-world programming challenges. You will learn how to write efficient C++ code, manage memory effectively, apply object-oriented principles, and leverage the power of the Standard Template Library (STL). As you progress, the course supports your preparation for industry-recognized certifications, including: - CPE – C++ Certified Entry-Level Programmer - CPA – C++ Certified Associate Programmer - CPP – C++ Certified Professional Programmer These credentials enhance your employability in entry-level and intermediate software development roles and demonstrate your dedication to mastering one of the most respected languages in the tech world. ** Graduate Profile Graduates of this course will be able to: Understand and apply core programming constructs: variables, control flow, functions, arrays, pointers, and memory management. Use advanced features of the language, including object-oriented programming, exception handling, templates, and the Standard Template Library. Design modular, reusable, and efficient C++ applications with professional coding practices. Analyze and solve problems algorithmically and implement custom data structures when needed. Prepare for industry-standard certifications and apply their skills in real-world software development scenarios. By completing all three levels, students will be equipped with robust C++ skills and hands-on experience applicable across a wide range of roles in the software industry.
