Object-Oriented Programming with C++
A Hands-on Course
April 1-5
Benefits
The benefits you can expect from object-oriented methods are
improved productivity, higher quality software, and more rapid
release schedules.
The features of object-oriented programming are
- program design by modeling real-world systems,
- a stronger concept fo modularity,
- support for the building of libraries and re-use of
existing code,
- easier modification and extension of existing code, and
- ability to extend the programming language.
In C++, the features of object oriented programming have been
carefully implemented in a way that preserves the portability and
efficiency of C. Leading companies including AT&T, Apple,
Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Borland, and Boeing have switched
much of their system development to C++. This class will teach
you the details of C++ syntax, and also the coding techniques and
design principles you will need to take advantage of the
language.
Objectives
On completion of this course the student will be able to
- write programs in C++
- describe the principles of object oriented programming
- design programs in C++ that take advantage of the
object oriented features of the language
- use standard window and icon based interface libraries
- use single and multiple inheritance and polymorphism to
write compact code
Who Can Benefit
Programmers and program designers who expect to work with
C++, or are exploring the use of C++. Programmers who know
C and want to find out what object oriented programming is.
Prerequisites
You should have some experience with C before taking this course.
Course Location
This course will be held at Tektronix Walker Road Industrial Park,
18700 N.W. Walker Road, Building 94. Use the southeast entrance to
the building and the receptionist will direct you to the training
classroom.
About the Instructor
Wayne Haythorn has been involved in computer programming and
technical training since 1971. Since 1983, he ahs been president
of Granite Software, which provides consulting and training in
artificial intelligence and object oriented programming. Clients
of Granite Software include Bellcore, Medtronic, Citicorp, IBM,
Control Date, and the Supercompting Research Center. Mr.
Haythorn has trained employees of over 200 other corporations and
50 government agencies.

BUILDING EXPERT SYSTEMS
A Hands-on Course
April 29-May 3
Purpose
Expert systems are computer programs which solve problems
requiring judgement and experience, by modeling the thinking of a
human expert. They are being used in a wide variety of
situations in which organizations need to preserve knowledge or
make it more readily available.
Who Can Benefit
This course is designed for people who want to know how expert
systems work and how to build one. The course is a workshop,
designed to show you basic methods for machine reasoning, and the
standard expert system development process. Students will study
the fundamentals of expert system programming by building a small
system. You will get the chance to use several different
commercial expert system shells. Students who have a project in
mind are encouraged to come to class with materials to work from.
Objectives
On completion of this course, the student will be able to
- describe a standard expert system development cycle
- write a project description identifying and specifying
an expert systems project
- know what to ask the expert during interviews, and how
to supplement interviews with observation and protocol
gathering
- describe the reasoning algorithms used in standard
expert system development environments
- describe expert system architectures using a variety of
knwoledge representation and inference techniques
- write, structure, and debug a rule base
- relate verification and testing to expert systems
architecture and development method, and produce a plan
for testing an expert system
