Online Course - Modern C++ Software Design (Advanced)
Workshop
Content Levels: Beginners = 3:00h (13%) + Intermediate = 8:00h (35%) + Advanced = 12:00h (52%)
Prerequisites:
At least two to three years of experience with the language is needed. This includes a solid knowledge of the syntax of C++, experience with the standard library (std::vector, std::list, …), hands-on experience with both template-based and inheritance-based designs and some experience with design patterns.
Gained Skills:
After this course, participants will:
- have a detailed understanding of the essential OO design principles
- have gained knowledge about fundamental C++ programming concepts and idioms
- be able to properly design classes and class interfaces
- know about the importance of exception safe programming
- have gained insight into kernel development with C++
- avoid the usual pitfalls in the context of inheritance
- comprehend the advantages of value-based design
- understand the virtue of clean code
Programming Tasks:
Participants are expected to use their own machines. Any operating system (Windows, Linux, MacOS, ...), any IDE/editor (MS Visual Studio, CLion, vi, emacs, ...) and any compiler capable of at least C++14 (GCC, Clang, MSVC, ...) can be used. The programming tasks, including both Makefiles and CMake files, will be distributed before the course.
