Though Hooking is extremely easy even without classes. It essentially involves writing EB 0xAddress in the beginning of the function call to jump to your function which would be 0xAddress.
There's lots of different ways to hook though. For certain Windows API, and common functions that show up in the IAT, its possible to overwrite the IAT to jump to your own code. I've also seen patching the jump thunk table, using execptions, Hardware breakpoint hooks, etc. But though the techniques can change the basic principle is the same.
