Object Innovations Releases New and Revised C++ Courseware

June 23, 2006. Object Innovations today released a new two-day course in C++/CLI that runs on .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. C++/CLI is an extension to ANSI/ISO standard C++ that targets the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which in turn is an ECMA/ISO standard for the Common Language Runtime (CLR) of Microsoft .NET. C++/CLI is new with .NET 2.0 and is a significant improvement over the older C++ with Managed Extensions.

The new course is:

• 431, C++/CLI Essentials, Rev. 1.0 (2 days)

This two-day course is designed for experienced C++ programmers to help them quickly come up to speed on the C++/CLI language. It is current to Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0, which introduces important new features, such as generic types. The course is fully comparable to the C# and Visual Basic Essentials courses from Object Innovations.

The course can be run on the new free version of Visual Studio 2005, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, which is ideal for instructional purposes. This Express Edition is a free download from Microsoft. All the programming examples in the course have been tested in the new development environment.

The C++/CLI course is part of Object Innovations’ comprehensive .NET curriculum. Parallel tracks are offered in C# and Visual Basic, and Object Innovations will also offer selected .NET courses in the C++/CLI language.

Object Innovations also has a curriculum of courses in standard C++ and has recently revised its Advanced C++ course to fully conform to ANSI/ISO standard C++ and to ensure that the course will run smoothly on multiple platforms, including Unix and Linux as well as Windows. The revised five-day course is:

• 157, Advanced C++ Programming, Rev. 1.2 (5 days)

Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
