Detailed Description

C++ is still one of the most popular languages out there. Given that there are hundreds of languages, that still means that 80%+ of you have never seen it or needed to use it. C++ informs a lot of what we do in other languages. Come on out and learn about this thing called C++. We’ll teach you enough to read basic C++ code, understand the differences between a pointer and a reference, and maybe even show the dangers and benefits of this thing called multiple-inheritance. You’ll learn a lot—like why in C++ it’s cool when a friend touches your privates.
