Advanced C++ Training Course

This curriculum for government professionals addresses essential contemporary C++ programming principles, such as templates, move semantics, and first-class functions.

Instruction prioritizes memory management through the utilization of smart pointers and adherence to secure coding standards.

Participants examine runtime errors, operator overloading, polymorphism, and Standard Template Library (STL) containers integrated with algorithms.
The program concludes with foundational instruction on effective C++ testing strategies.

This three-day course provides an overview of securing C/C++ code to protect against malicious users who may exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. The course covers the fundamental principles of writing secure code for government applications, ensuring that participants understand best practices in safeguarding software integrity and functionality.

Does C++ provide adequate support for embedded environments, including microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Is it appropriate to apply object-oriented programming methodologies within microcontroller architectures?

Does the abstraction level of C++ compromise performance efficiency relative to hardware proximity?

This instructor-led, live training addresses these inquiries and demonstrates through discussion and practice how C++ can be used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient for government applications. Participants put theory into practice through the creation of a sample embedded application in C++.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming and real-time programming
• Produce code for embedded systems that is small, fast and safe
• Avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand the issues related to using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
• Debug a C++ program on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This two-day program provides essential instruction for C++ developers seeking to implement C++11 standards in professional settings. Designed specifically for government entities and public sector organizations, the curriculum covers comprehensive feature sets supported by practical laboratory exercises and code demonstrations relevant to financial application development.

This instructor-led, live training delivered in US (online or onsite) is designed for C++ developers seeking to utilize CUDA to accelerate applications, develop high-performance GPU kernels, and employ parallel algorithm libraries for scientific computing, data processing, and machine learning workloads. This program is tailored specifically for government.

This course provides an overview of C++ as the standard extension to C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ is built upon the foundation of C, the curriculum transitions naturally from C concepts to C++ while examining the underlying implementation mechanisms. This approach is critical for understanding how to effectively apply C++ within resource-constrained embedded environments. With the recent adoption of the C++11 standard and the forthcoming C++14 update, this program covers key advancements relevant to modern development, including high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore architectures, and low-level bare-metal programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this instruction is to ensure participants can implement C++ according to established best practices. The training objectives include:

• Positioning C++ as an object-oriented alternative for embedded systems
• Clarifying the relationship between C and C++ through their similarities and differences
• Analyzing memory management strategies, with a focus on move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examining the compilation process to understand how various C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Utilizing templates, including variadic templates from C++11, to create type-safe, high-order abstractions for bare-metal programming tasks such as memory-mapped I/O and interrupt handling
• Presenting design patterns specifically applicable to embedded contexts
• Providing practical exercises to reinforce key concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers who intend to transition into or expand their work within the embedded systems domain. It supports the adoption of standardized practices for government and other regulated sectors requiring rigorous technical oversight.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

Participants must possess foundational knowledge in C++ programming, equivalent to that covered in our training courses “C++ – Level 1” and “C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11.”

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

The curriculum includes numerous exercises allowing participants to apply the presented concepts. Instructional activities will utilize the open-source Eclipse integrated development environment.

The training program conducted in US includes an active question-and-answer period for government participants. Technical materials are provided as PDF documents, while completed source code exercises are available in .zip archives. The final day focuses on developing a C++ project, executing debugging procedures, and conducting formal code reviews.

Overview of C++ Programming Training Course Materials

This training equips federal personnel with the skills necessary to develop, compile, and execute C++ applications for government initiatives. Participants will master essential programming techniques, design reusable classes to ensure long-term project maintainability, and manage dynamic data resources with precision and efficiency.

Applying object-oriented concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism within the C programming language constitutes a methodology for leveraging structured design patterns. This instruction is delivered through instructor-led live training, available in online or onsite formats, targeting software engineers seeking to construct modular, maintainable, and scalable applications using these techniques for government.

Upon completion of this instructional program, participants will possess the capability to:

• Install and configure a C development environment suitable for structured programming workflows.
• Utilize C constructs, including structs and function pointers, to apply object-oriented design principles.
• Implement encapsulation and abstraction mechanisms within C applications.
• Develop reusable and maintainable code by applying object-oriented patterns in the C language.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussion sessions.
• Extensive exercises and practical application.
• Hands-on implementation within a live laboratory environment.

Customization Options
