Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how to mitigate these risks and ensure robust security practices in their coding workflows.

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 are interested in implementing the new C++11 standard in their industry, particularly for government. It is especially beneficial for financial application developers, as it covers all new features with practical coding examples that participants will execute during the lab sessions.

Course C++17 presents new features of the language, such as structured bindings, conditional statements with initial variables, constexpr if, static inline components, aggregations, inheritance and classes std::string_view, std::optional, std::variant, std:: any, std::byte. Concurrent algorithms and announcements of changes in C++20 are also discussed.

This instructor-led, live training in US Empire (online or onsite) offers introductory coverage of C++, the Qt GUI framework, and various communication technologies such as ZeroMQ and Protocol Buffers, which are essential for writing distributed applications for government use.

By the end of this training, participants will have acquired the necessary knowledge and practical skills to write and compile an application using C++, Qt, and gcc on Linux Centos 6/7. Participants will also integrate asynchronous messaging capabilities using ZeroMQ and Protocol Buffers, enhancing their ability to develop robust applications for government environments.

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.
