This course provides students with a detailed knowledge of the C++ programming language, and introduces the basic concepts of object-oriented design and analysis. This course will teach C++ programmers how to develop applications by using Microsoft® Foundation Class (MFC) Library and the Microsoft Visual C++® 6 development environment.

At the end of the course, students will be able to describe the benefits of object-oriented programming, design and implement C++ classes, and write and debug simple C++ programs. The topics covered in the course are: classes and objects, polymorphism, inheritance, aggregation, operator overloads, C++ I/O streams, templates, and converting projects from C to C++.

Describe the Visual C++ 6 development environment. Describe the new MFC features introduced with Visual C++ 6.0. Debug MFC applications. Create robust applications that handle errors and exceptions. Enhance the user interface features of an application by adding dynamic menus, graphical status bars, rebars, and dialog bars. Implement view classes. Use Microsoft Windows® operating system controls, Internet Explorer controls, and ActiveX controls in MFC applications. Use ActiveX and component object model (COM) objects in MFC. Create ActiveX controls. Create applications that access both DBMS and non DBMS data sources by using OLE DB templates, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and OLE/DB Consumer/providers. Create MFC applications that communicate across the Internet. Describe the IE controls, ATL, DHTML, Windows CE
