Advanced Programming with C++ delves into sophisticated concepts and practices

essential for mastering C++ as a powerful programming language. The course covers

object-oriented design, advanced data structures, templates, exception handling,

operator overloading, and polymorphism. Emphasis is placed on memory management,

including pointers, dynamic allocation, and smart pointers, as well as the Standard

Template Library (STL) for efficient coding. Students will also explore multi-threading, file

handling, and best practices for large-scale software development. By the end of the

course, participants will be equipped to design and implement complex C++

applications with clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
