The C Programming course provides a comprehensive introduction to the ANSI C programming language, while emphasizing portability and structured design. Students are introduced to all of the major C language elements including fundamental data types, flow control, and standard function libraries. More advanced topics such as structured programming constructs and varargs functions are covered later on in the course.

Course attendees are already expected to understand fundamental programming concepts such as variables, data types, arrays, and loops before taking the C Programming course. HOTT offers a complimentary Intro to Programming Concepts course which provides that fundamental/remedial knowledge if a student needs it.

The 5-day C++ Programming for Non-C Programmers course provides an accelerated introduction to the most essential syntactical components of the C and C++ languages on the first day of class, followed by four days of focus on object-oriented programming with C++.

The C++ Programming for Non-C Programmers course is the correct class to take for the majority of attendees interested in learning to program with the C++ language, but for students that are already familiar with C language syntax, they may instead be better served by taking the shorter 4-day C++ Programming for C Programmers course offered by HOTT, which assumes that students already know C language basics and can therefore immediately dive into C++ programming topics.

The 4-day C++ Programming for C Programmers course gives a thorough introduction to object-oriented programming in C++ for experienced C programmers. The central concepts of C++ syntax and style are taught in the context of using object-oriented methods to achieve reusability, adaptability and reliability.

The C++ Programming for C Programmers course assumes that attendees already have prior experience with the C Programming language. Students interested in learning C++ that do not have prior C Programming experience would instead be better served by taking the longer 5-day C++ Programming for Non-C Programmers course.
