Advanced C++

• Basic C++ programming experience

Audience

• Developers

C++ is a cross-platform object-oriented programming language designed for large systems and resource-constrained applications with clear structure, code reusability, flexibility, and efficiency.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use 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 C++ libraries, packages and frameworks.
• Understand the features, components, and basic elements of C++.
• Create complex C++ applications using advanced programming techniques.
• Learn how to write readable, fast, and secure code in C++.
• Know the common security pitfalls in C++ language and how to mitigate them.
• Implement test strategies for code quality and security control.
• Use the diagnostics and debugging tools in C++ development.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
