Task 2 QT graphical application activity - Learning Outcomes 1 to 4

This module enhances your programming skills to design, develop and test Windows platform applications using C++. The module consists of two parts C++ programming and Windows graphical Interfaces.

C++ Programming
The C++ programming will include such topics as: classes; objects; attributes; methods; constructors; destructors; inheritance; function overloading; operator overloading; polymorphism; memory management; abstract data types; template methods; template classes; file and stream handling; string classes; threads and data sockets.

Windows Graphical Programming
The use of the QT C++ library structure to design through to testing an industrial documented windows applications to illustrate complex graphical user interface applications
Introduction and demonstration of other traditional graphical libraries within Windows namely OPENGL, DirectX, MFC, and API calls etc.

The module will be delivered via a series of lectures and tutorials / practical’s in a 3-hour block. The strategies employed will be learning and extending example code with individual tutor support in practical sessions.
