About the course

The C++ Advanced (CPPA) course is designed for learners who have already built a foundation in C++ programming and are ready to take the next step toward mastery. This course is particularly beneficial for:

  • Programmers with intermediate C++ skills aiming to delve into more complex programming concepts.
  • Students and professionals targeting the CPP – C++ Certified Professional Programmer certification, available in partnership with Pearson VUE.
  • Individuals looking to advance their careers in software development, network programming, system development, or related fields.
  • Self-taught programmers seeking to deepen their C++ programming knowledge and practical skills.

The course dives deep into modern C++ features, focusing on the Standard Template Library (STL) and advanced language tools such as templates, functors, and advanced I/O operations. Learners will explore both non-modifying and modifying algorithms, sequential and associative containers, and techniques for efficient data processing and manipulation.

Building upon the foundations laid by C++ Essentials 1 and C++ Essentials 2, this course readies candidates for the CPP exam by covering these advanced topics and equipping them with the necessary skills to solve complex programming problems.

Course Syllabus

The course is divided into nine in-depth modules focused on advanced C++ programming concepts, especially around STL, templates, and file I/O. Each module contains study materials, quizzes, and hands-on labs designed to help learners apply their knowledge to professional-level programming tasks.

Module 1: STL Sequential Containers
Work with vector, deque, and list containers and their adapters: stack, queue, and priority_queue. Learn their APIs and when to use each structure efficiently.

Module 2: STL Associative Containers
Explore set, multiset, map, and multimap containers. Understand their behaviors, insertion techniques, and typical use cases.

Module 3: Non-Modifying STL Algorithms
Learn and apply algorithms such as for_each, find, count, and search to iterate through containers without changing them.

Module 4: Modifying STL Algorithms
Use algorithms like transform, copy, remove, and unique to manipulate and update container contents effectively.

Module 5: Sorting STL Operations
Understand sorting techniques using sort, stable_sort, and binary_search. Apply them in practical data organization scenarios.

Module 6: STL Merge Operations
Master merging strategies using merge and inplace_merge as well as STL set operations to combine and compare datasets.

Module 7: STL Utilities and Functional Library
Discover STL utilities and functors that enhance code readability and efficiency. Focus on real-world examples using functional programming elements.

Module 8: STL Advanced I/O
Dive into file and console input/output operations, string processing, and output formatting using advanced C++ I/O classes.

Module 9: Templates
Understand and apply function and class templates to create flexible, reusable code. Learn to solve type-independent programming problems.
