After completing OOP Using C++: Week 1, the user should be able to:
 

	Use data types, variables, and constants
	Use operators to manipulate C++ expressions
	Do advanced programming with functions
	Use statements and loops to control program flow
	Use classes and objects
	Enter, compile and link C++ programs

Day 1: Getting Started
Discusses why C++ is the emerging standard.  Identifies the steps to develop a C++ program.  Explains how to enter, compile and link a C++ program.

Day 2: The Parts of a C++ Program
Analyzes the parts of a C++ program.  Demonstrates how the parts work together.  Examines what a function is and what it does.

Day 3: Variables and Constants
Covers how to declare and define variables and constants.  Shows how to assign values to variables and manipulate those values.  Demonstrates how to write the value of a variable to the screen.

Day 4: Expressions and Statements
Describes what statements, blocks and expressions are.  Shows how to branch code based on conditions.  Discusses what truth is and how to act on it.

Day 5: Functions
Examines what a function is and what its parts are.  Illustrates how to declare and define functions, pass parameters into functions and return a value from a function.

Day 6: Basic Classes
Explains what classes and objects are.  Demonstrates how to define a new class and create objects of that class.  Discusses what member functions and member data are.  Describes what constructors are and how to use them.

Day 7: More Program Flow
Explains what loops are and how they are used.  Shows how to build various loops.  Presents an alternative to deeply-nested if/else statements.

Week 1 in Review
Presents a program that uses the skills learned during the week.

Reference
Provides reference tables for operator precedence, C++ keywords, and binary and hexadecimal.  Lists example programs.

This course includes the following materials:
 

	C++ Glossary
	Files of sample program listings and answers to programming exercises
