Advanced C++ : Practical workshop Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite) is designed for government developers who wish to utilize advanced C++ programming techniques to develop complex, secure, and high-performance systems and applications. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: - Set up a development environment that includes all necessary C++ libraries, packages, and frameworks. - Understand the key features, components, and foundational elements of C++. - Create sophisticated C++ applications using advanced programming techniques. - Write code in C++ that is readable, efficient, and secure. - Identify common security vulnerabilities in C++ and implement strategies to mitigate them. - Develop test plans to ensure code quality and security controls. - Utilize diagnostics and debugging tools effectively in C++ development for government.

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.

Is C++ suitable for embedded systems such as microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming be used in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too far removed from the hardware to be efficient?

This instructor-led, live training addresses these questions and demonstrates through discussion and practice how C++ can be effectively utilized to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theoretical knowledge by creating a sample embedded application in C++.

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

• Understand the principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Produce code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Avoid unnecessary overhead from templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Comprehend the challenges associated with 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 extensive hands-on practice for government professionals

This two-day course is designed for C++ programmers who wish to apply the new C++11 standard in their respective fields, including those working for government and industry. The course is especially beneficial for developers of financial applications, as it covers all new features with practical coding examples that participants will execute during laboratory sessions.

This training is designed to introduce C++ as an extension of C, particularly for object-oriented embedded system development. Given that C++ encompasses C, this course provides a natural progression from C to C++, delving into how C++ is implemented. This understanding is especially valuable when applying C++ in resource-limited embedded environments. The C++ standard has recently undergone significant revisions with the introduction of C++11 and the upcoming C++14. This course addresses key features introduced in these revisions, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency for multicore environments, and programming close to the hardware.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this class is to enable participants to use C++ correctly and effectively.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented language suitable for embedded systems
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C and C++
• Understand various memory management strategies, particularly the move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examine how different paradigms in C++ translate into machine code
• Leverage templates for type-safe high-order abstractions in bare-metal programming, including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts, especially variadic templates from C++11
• Explore useful design patterns applicable in an embedded context
• Practice concepts through a series of exercises

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is intended for C++ programmers who plan to start using C++ in an embedded system context, particularly for government applications.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires a foundational understanding of C++ programming, equivalent to the knowledge gained from our “C++ – Level 1” and “C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11” trainings.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Participants will practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will utilize the open-source integrated development environment from Eclipse, ensuring that all tools are accessible and free for government use.

During the training in [location], an ongoing Q&A session takes place between the trainer and participants. The C++ handouts are provided in PDF format for easy access and reference. Solved source code exercises are available in .zip format to facilitate practical learning. On the fifth day, the focus shifts to building a C++ project, debugging the code, and conducting thorough code reviews, ensuring that all participants gain comprehensive skills for government use.

Introduction to C++ Programming Training Course for Government

Create, compile, and execute C++ programs. Perform fundamental programming tasks. Develop classes to ensure project maintainability. Manage dynamic data with reliability and efficiency.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is designed for government developers who wish to utilize C to incorporate object-oriented programming techniques and enhance software design.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to implement object-oriented concepts in C, design modular applications, apply encapsulation and abstraction, and structure maintainable codebases for government use.

This instructor-led, live training in US offers comprehensive coverage of Qt and its modules for government.

By the end of this training, participants will have acquired the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to develop their own C++ applications using Qt for government workflows.
