C/C++ Programming Certificate

This certificate program approaches the C++ programming language as an extension of the C language. C++ adds object-oriented programming capabilities to the traditional C development environment. This approach allows UCSD Extension to provide extended programming capabilities and experience to both novice and seasoned programmers by utilizing the full complement of C/C++ utilities and development environment. The certificate is designed to allow students to enter and be productive in the fields of programming, software analysis, algorithm design, object-oriented software development, or software test and integration. Students will also gain the tools and techniques necessary to stay current with rapidly changing technologies, move on to other environments like Java, or complement a formal degree. Upon completion of the program, students will be well prepared to design, develop, implement, and maintain complex C/C++ applications in various environments.
