I need to take a class on using C++ Libraries.
Something that's about 3 months in duration, with some sort of a test at the end.
I could easily just go to google and start there, but I was afraid that I would just get a zillion classes, without any way of knowing what is "shinola" and what is s***thing else.
Any suggestions for high quality, online learning that fills this bill would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
What C++ libraries are you referring to?
Standard Template Library, others..
You need a book not a course actually.
I learned C++ from books and online community. Any specific intra-day or week courses on particular subjects opened in college are always expensive to me, and since we are short of memory, such knowledge won't be able to stay long with us except in form of conscious and subconscious entities. It has taken quite a long time for me to understand main concept of STL especially OOP paradigm in general. Libraries or addin tools are created to generalize or make amend for particular tasks/jobs the coders are going to deal with during phases of software development. I'd like the quote by someone that it's not only the brain that we have to use, it's also everything in existence that we can borrow. Software development I suppose should possess the same meaning...
Thank you very much for your reply.
That was my first thought, but I wanted to try to appease my employer.
I've contacted a number of online schools and they all include the STL info, but it's buried with everything else.
That's not terrible, but not a very good use of my time.
I'm happy to spend their money, but I know they wont really get the return on the investment they're looking for.
I think I'll try to convince my employer to go with the self help route.
Best Regards,
Mike
