Back to Basics: Object Oriented Programming

C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language but also supports generic and functional features. OOP is a potent tool when used wisely. Let me present you the good parts. You can design intuitive classes, which encapsulate its internals and allow restricted access. Further, inheritance applied appropriately enables you to build libraries or frameworks that are easy to use and difficult to misuse. The hidden source is the separation of interface and implementation. You can apply "Lesson Learned" from the best and implement design patterns using OOP techniques. Learn in my lecture the appropriate use of the keywords virtual, override, and final. Learn when you should build a class hierarchy to separate the interface from the implementation. Besides interface inheritance, you can also use implementation inheritance. Learn to distinguish between those.
During this lecture, I also present a few design patterns as examples of good object-oriented design. PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS:
