Chapters:Absolute basics

• machine and  high-level programming languages, compilation process
• obtaining the machine code: compilation process
• recommended readings
• your first program
• variable – why?
• integers:  values, literals, operators
• characters: values, literals, operators
• dealing with streams and basic input/output operations

Flow control and more data types

• how to control the flow of the program?
• floating point types: values, literals, operators
• more integral types: values and literals
• loops and controlling the loop execution
• logic, bitwise and arithmetic operators

Functions

• functions: why do you need them?
• declaring and invoking functions
• side effects
• different methods of passing parameters and their purpose
• default parameters
• inline functions
• overloaded functions

Accessing data and dealing with exceptions

• converting values of different types
• strings: declarations, initializations, assignments
• string as the example of an object: introducing methods and properties
• namespaces: using and declaring
• exception handling

Fundamentals of the object-oriented approach

• class: what does it actually mean?
• where do the objects come from?
• class components
• constructors
• referring to objects
• static members
• classes and their friends
• defining and overloading operators

Class hierarchy

• base class, superclass, subclass
• inheritance: how does it work?
• types of inheritance
• inheriting different class components
• multiple inheritance

Classes – continued

• polymorphism: the notion and the purpose
• virtual methods: declaring and using
• inheriting virtual methods
• abstraction and abstract classes

Exceptions – dealing with expected and unexpected problems

• what is an exception?
• catching and throwing exceptions
• different classes and hierarchy of exceptions
• defining your own exceptions
