Hi Leslie,
I've done a talk on Coupling, Cohesion, OOP, and design patterns for a couple of past jobs and JUGs and my girlfriend is helping make a film out of it. It's mostly geared toward Java development but the material is transferrable to all languages that have OO capabilities. I know a bit of C++ (since that was la mode when I was in college) but probably won't be enough to answer tactical questions. However the other material is stuff I've culled from a couple of years of practical OO jobs and a nearly-complete masters in CS from San Diego State U. It's useful to anyone writing OO code but challenging enough material for senior developers. Maybe instead of paying for lunch or beer you could be a sounding board for the material in this film in some capacity? Contact me directly at dave _at ~ peoplemerge D0t com Thanks Dave From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leslie S Satenstein Sent: March-20-12 5:16 PM To: Montreal Linux Users Group Subject: [MLUG] Off Topic C++ course Well, I have a request for some help with my learning C++. For 25 years I have been developing code in C, and now I have started with C++. The grammar, is not my hangup, it is with classes, inheritance, the this pointer and inheritances and good practices. Can someone recommend a course I could audit, or of a self study course they could recommend? I was at the library and while there are about a hundred C++ books, I seem to have hangups for inheritance, polymorphism, and multiple inheritance. My objective is to learn to develop some applications using the QT framework. I noted that some critical QT classes have in excess of 50 methods. I would even pay a lunch, a few beers, or a supper for a person who could help me out by answering some questions by email or phone, at that person's convenience. I promise to not over commit anyone who helps. I am using a Java book at the same time to get familiar with this language. I understand that most students learn about classes via Java first. The tutorials on the web miss the human touch. I have questions such as two of the following. If I can do sizeof(structure) to get its size in memory. Can I do the same of a class. sizeof(class) ? One other question. In C, I can do a memset(structure address, 0, sizeof(structure)), and that will zap the structure. Can I put the structure within a class and do the same? I think I am not able to do the memset(?class,0 sizeof(class)) clearout because of private variables. I want to develop expertise in QT and with Boost libraries and SDK. Once I get over this hurdle, I will be home free. Development environment is 32 or 64 bit Linux. Please give me some feedback, recommendations and or other, to respond to my needs. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein 50 years in IT and going strong. Yesterday was a good day, today is a better day, and tomorrow will be even better. mailto:[email protected] alternative: [email protected] www.itbms.biz
