Intermediate C++ Programming / Effective C++ (TTCP2150)

C++ is a powerful, high-performance programming language that offers an ideal blend of low-level memory manipulation and high-level abstraction capabilities. Learning C++ is a valuable investment for developers, as it opens the door to creating efficient, versatile, and complex applications that run on a variety of platforms. Modern companies across diverse industries – including finance, gaming, automotive, and telecommunications – rely on C++ for developing performance-critical applications, system software, and embedded systems. Renowned organizations like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft continue to leverage the power of C++ in their development practices, solidifying its status as a crucial skill for developers seeking lucrative and challenging career opportunities.Geared for experienced C++ developers, Intermediate C++ 20 / Effective C++ 20 is a four day, hands-on program that dives covers a broad spectrum of topics – from the quick review of C++ essentials to modern C++ features, memory management, unit testing, and more. Our expert instructors will walk you through a comprehensive journey, investigating cutting-edge concepts such as RAII, copy and move semantics, namespaces, templates, and C++ 20 Concepts & auto Templates. You’ll learn to leverage the power of modern C++ and unravel the intricacies of memory management, including the handle/body pattern, smart pointers, and move constructors. By the end of this course, you’ll have an in-depth understanding of C++ memory, pointers, and complexity.Working in a hands-on environment, explore the art of functional programming and discover how the IoC pattern, dependency injection, functors, and lambda expressions can bring about significant enhancements to your code. With a strong emphasis on SOLID principles, inheritance, polymorphism, exceptions, and operator overloading, this course will help you design robust, maintainable, and scalable modern applications.  You’ll also expand your C++ toolset by exploring the rich offerings of the Standard Library, mastering the essentials of containers, algorithms, numerics, dates, and times. Gain a solid introduction to multitasking with threads, tasks, and async. As a bonus, you’ll also learn how to implement effective unit testing in C++ using GTest, ensuring your code is reliable and bug-free.
