" C++ in 45 minutes. Or not."

 

Abstract:

In this 45-minute talk, you will learn everything about C++...  No, not really.  You will need 45 years for that.  What you will learn are the fundamentals of C++: how, when and where exactly object construction, destruction, and copying take place.  This talk is intended for students who know C and Java, as we will explore the intersection of the three languages.  We will view C++ as an extension of C, which will explain why C++ works the way it  does.  We will compare C++ with Java, noting the differences and  (more surprisingly) similarities.  This will illuminate some  interesting facts about Java.  After this talk, you will know how to use basic C++ correctly in your code, and have a solid  foundation for learning more advanced C++.
