Introduction to C++
Michael Redlich, ExxonMobil Research & Engineering
Abstract :
This seminar is an introduction to the C++ programming language. C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language created by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Labs. Since knowledge of OOP is vital in the development of robust applications, the OOP paradigm will be introduced. Advantages of OOP over structured programming and the four attributes of OOP (data encapsulation, data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism) will be discussed as well. Some C++ keywords will be reviewed before introducing the C++ class mechanism. A small, working C++ example will be reviewed to demonstrate how the attributes of OOP are utilized within C++ classes. [Prerequisite: working knowledge of a structured programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal].

C++ Advanced Features
Michael Redlich, ExxonMobil Research & Engineering
Abstract :
This in-depth seminar will cover some of the advanced features of C++. Four main topics will be presented: overloaded operators, templates, exception handling, and namespaces. Each of these topics will be individually discussed and a sample code will be reviewed to demonstrate how each feature is implemented. There will also be a brief introduction to the Standard Template Library.

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Design Principles
Michael Redlich, ExxonMobil Research & Engineering
Abstract :
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that models real-world objects. The most well-known and widely-used OOP languages are C++ and Java, but some languages, such as Simula-67, were around much earlier. The advantages of OOP over structured programming include modularity and code re-use. As OOP has evolved over the years, things like design patterns and design principles have guided developers to write applications that are more adaptable to modification. This presentation will introduce OOP, its basic attributes (encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism), the class mechanism, and some design principles that have led to the development of design patterns. Example C++ and Java source code will be reviewed to demonstrate the features of OOP and design principles.

Integrating Oracle 10g XML: A Case Study
Coleman Leviter, Arrow Electronics
Abstract :
Many times during a project life cycle, new technology is introduced that presents first time challenges. Coleman Leviter will describe a project using Oracle 10g XML DB and discuss why XML DB was chosen, how XML DB was used, and the technical issues encountered. He will provide several examples using XMLTYPE, CLOBs, XML DB methods, XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT and XMLFOREST. Attendees will learn about methods, design considerations and issues using Oracle 10g XML DB.
