C++ Programmer
at Community College of Baltimore County
Baltimore Catalog
Students can pursue a career as an entry-level C++ programmer. C++ programmers write, modify, and test C++ code for browsers, operating systems, applications, and gaming. They collaborate with stakeholders on company needs and turn them into applications people can use. They need to have a very good understanding of the object-oriented programming language and how it can be used in real-world situations. This program is designed to introduce students to the concepts, terminology, application, and coding of the C++ programming language. Students will learn fundamental programming concepts, including decision-making and looping, with the support of practical, step-by-step examples. Students will gain an understanding of the basics of structured and object-oriented programming techniques and will be able to build C++ programs. Since this course is delivered completely online, students will need to have the self-discipline to complete all required material on their own. A course instructor will be available to assist students with questions and to lead online activities during the course of the class.
