C++ Training in Évora

This instructor-led, live training in Évora (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.

Developing secure C and C++ code demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Is C++ appropriate for embedded systems like microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming be utilized in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from the hardware to be efficient?

This instructor-led live training answers these questions and demonstrates, through discussion and practice, how C++ can be employed to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theory by building a sample embedded application in C++.

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

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Write code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and safe
• Avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand the issues 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

• A mix of lectures, discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This is a 2-day course aimed at C++ programmers who are interested in applying the new C++11 standard in their industry. It is particularly useful for financial applications developers covering all new features with coding examples to be executed within the lab

This training aims to present C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ encompasses C, this course guides you from C to C++ in an intuitive manner, revealing the inner workings of C++ implementation. This insight is particularly valuable when deploying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard recently undergoing a major update (C++11) and another on the horizon (C++14), this course covers essential topics introduced by these revisions, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore systems, and low-level bare-metal programming close to the hardware.

OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS

The primary goal of this course is to enable you to utilize C++ correctly and effectively.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative within the context of embedded systems
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and C
• Understand various memory management strategies, particularly move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examine the underlying mechanisms to see how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-close programming, including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts, with a focus on variadic templates from C++11
• Present design patterns specifically useful in embedded contexts
• Include practical exercises to reinforce key concepts

TARGET AUDIENCE

This training is designed for C++ programmers who wish to begin using C++ in embedded system development.

PREREQUISITES

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

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Throughout the training, you will apply the concepts presented through a series of exercises. We will utilize the open and free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training session in Évora (online or onsite) is designed for web developers who wish to adopt functional programming techniques with C++.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Leverage functional programming solutions to enhance the performance of web applications.
• Prevent data mutation and side effects through functional programming practices.
• Develop web applications utilizing a functional programming paradigm.

This instructor-led, live training in Évora (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use C to apply object-oriented programming techniques and improve 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.

This instructor-led, live training session in Évora delves deeply into Qt and its associated modules.

By the conclusion of the training, attendees will have gained the requisite knowledge and practical experience to create their own C++ applications utilizing Qt.

This instructor-led, live training in Évora covers the fundamentals of game development with Unreal Engine 4 while giving participants the chance to create their own sample game.
