Goals The goals of a course encompass what the student will achieve by accomplishing all of the objectives of the course or lessons.
This course is intended to strengthen the knowledge of basic concepts learned in the ACE Computer Camp Course Introduction to Programming with C++.
Students should be able to easily combine two or more concepts when solving a problem using C++.
More advanced topics will be covered, which will allow for more flexibility in problem solving.
The course will prepare the students for the Advanced C++ Programming course, which will explore the vast concept of Object Oriented Programming.
