This course will be conducted using C++Builder Enterprise software.

The course is designed to ensure that C++Builder Client/Server developers have an understanding of, and can successfully implement, C++Builder Client/Server in a distributed computing environment. The courseware covers the C++Builder Client/Server fundamental concepts of C++Builder application development including: IDE, C++ language basics, debugging, event-driven programming, database tasks, the Borland Database Engine and database tools. Student materials provided include a 500 page manual, a 100 page student guide, as well as exercise diskettes. The bulk of the course highlights and teaches concepts of C++Builder Client/Server application development including database components, working with SQL, migration to Client/Server, exception handling, component creation and InstallShield.

A working knowledge of Windows is imperative. One of the key objectives of this course is to teach students how to exploit the power behind a Rapid Application Development tool like C++Builder. Therefore, this course will not focus on the language basics of C++. It is recommended that students have a good working knowledge of the C++ language prior to attending this course. Experience programming applications for Local Area Networks and a working knowledge of another Windows 4th generation database programming platform (i.e. Paradox for Windows, dBASE for Windows, Visual Basic, or PowerBuilder) is recommended. We also encourage learners to have experience developing applications for one of the following SQL database servers: InterBase 3.3/4.0, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, Informix, or an ODBC supported server.
