Course Objectives

This is a fast-paced introductory course to the C++ programming language which is intended for those with little or
no programming background. This course provides a conceptual and practical introduction to programming. The
focus is on programming rather than the particular choice of programming language, with general principles being
brought out through the study of ‘C/C++’. This course will equip students with tools and techniques to implement a
given problem programmatically.
