C++ Training

[socato]

Hey all, gonna spend some time in LOS over the summer and was wondering if there was anywhere that I could do some C++ training about? I used search engines but no luck unfortunately.

Very much appreciated.

Best way to learn C++ is not by doing a course, but by picking up a few books and start coding yourself. Some of the best coders I have met, NEVER attended a course in programming anywhere.

Alternatively, there are many tutorials online so you dont need a book really. Good place to start for tutorials/ samples across all levels is codeproject.com. A free, comprehensive and very good online book is "Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel accessible from http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html

Classes in LOS conducted in English may be hard to find.

Good programing techniques may be even harder to find in the LOS. .

I agree 100% with emsfeld!

You can get short programming courses in English here: http://aptech.co.th/index.htm

Disagree with some prior statements... the best way to learn C++ is to study for a Computer Science degree and then get a few years of industry experience.

I did the Computer Science degree, but I didn't do any C++ on it.

Have used it since, although not recently...

Nowadays you should factor in that people tend to use the STL (Standard Template Library) on top of basic C++ in any courses you want to get, at least if getting a job using C++ is part of the plan.

Agreed, if you're not going to use STL then using C++ will be rather unproductive for most projects compared to most other modern languages. If one is not going to properly learn how to use the STL then they may as well not learn C++ in the first place.
