Advanced C++ Programming (Modern Advanced C++) (TTC3100-C)
Advanced C++ Programming (Modern Advanced C++) (TTC3100-C) Course Details:
Advanced C++ Programming (Modern Advanced C++) is a lab-intensive, hands-on C++ training course geared for experienced C++ programmers who wish to take their development skills to the next level. Students will leave this course armed with the required skills to put advanced C++ programming skills right to work in a practical environment, using sound coding techniques and best practices.
This comprehensive course consists of three modules. A preliminary module reviews topics, including inheritance, the ANSI C++ Standard Library, templates. I/O streams, and practical issues of C++ programming, such as reliability & testing. This material is covered as needed depending on the background of the students.
The second module covers more advanced topics. Unit testing, advanced inheritance & polymorphism are discussed. Memory management along with move constructors and RAII are explored. Templates and generic programming are explored including lambda expressions and functors. The third module is a deep dive into the Standard C++ Library. Containers, Algorithms, Threads and much more.
Throughout the course, new features of modern C++ (version 11 and beyond) are introduced as well as the impact on programming style. These new features include smart pointers, move constructors, functional programming and lambda expressions.
If your team requires different topics or tools, additional skills or custom approach, this course may be easily adjusted to accommodate. We offer additional C++, application development, design and security courses which may be blended with this course for a track that best suits your development objectives. Our team will collaborate with you to understand your needs and will target the course to focus on your specific learning objectives and goals.
