C++ Training in Tucson

This instructor-led, live training in Tucson (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.

Writing secure C and C++ code requires rigorous defense against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This program examines vulnerability patterns including buffer overflows, use-after-free, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants 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++ 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 used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants put theory into practice through the creation of a sample embedded application in C++.

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

• Understand the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming and real-time programming
• Produce code for embedded systems that is small, fast and safe
• Avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand the issues related to 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 heavy 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 intends to introduce C++ as the common extension of C when applying object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ encloses C, this training takes us from C to C++ in a natural way, and looks under the hood of how C++ is implemented. This is especially valuable to comprehend when applying C++ in an embedded resource limited environment. The C++ standard has recently been undergoing a major revision, a.k.a. as C++11, and a new one is on its way, C++14. This course addresses subjects brought in with these revisions that are especially useful like high performance memory management, concurrency making use of a multicore environment, and bare-metal close to the hardware programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The major objective of this class is that you shall be able to use C++ in a “correct way”.

• Introduce C++ as an object oriented language alternative in an embedded system context
• Show the similarities ‑ and differences ‑ with the C language
• Comprehend different memory management strategies – especially the move semantics introduced with C++11
• Look under the hood and understand what different paradigms in C++ leads to in machine code
• Use templates to achieve type safe high order abstractions for bare-metal close to the hardware programming – memory mapped I/O as well as interrupts – especially the variadic templates introduced with C++11
• Provide some useful design patterns especially applicable in an embedded context
• A few exercises in order to practice some concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is aimed C++- programmers who intend to start using C++ in an embedded system context.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires basic knowledge in C++ programming, corresponding to our trainings ”C++ – Level 1” and ”C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11”.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

During the training you will practice the presented concepts in a number of exercises. We will use the open and free integrated development environment from Eclipse

This instructor-led, live training in Tucson (online or onsite) is aimed at web developers who wish to functional program with C++

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

• Use functional programming solutions to improve the performance of web applications.
• Avoid data mutation and side effects with functional programming.
• Create web applications in a functional programming style.

This instructor-led, live training in Tucson (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 in Tucson provides in-depth coverage of Qt and its modules.

By the end of this training, participants will have the necessary knowledge and practice to develop their own C++ application using Qt.
