C++ is a hard and complicated programming language. When used correctly it delivers the best possible performance. Unfortunately, it is often misused which is a source of many problems.

However, it turns out that in the case of conscious usage of selected language features it can be relatively easy to produce high-quality software with great performance and resistance to programming errors. Such a coding style is called Modern C++.

The training targets the developers who already have professional experience with C++ programming language and who know the problems caused by the careless way of coding in this language. The workshop aims to strengthen the knowledge about the C++ language and show how to avoid many of the problems that often appear in the production code.

This training should be considered a mandatory training for all C++ developers and code architects. It is a foundation for all other C++ trainings offered by Train IT.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS

  • Emphasis on understanding the philosophy and mechanisms of C++ programming language and learning how to reuse this knowledge in own code
  • Particular focus on the usage of C++ templates in practical tasks
  • Development of error-unfriendly code
  • Selection of useful patterns and techniques that prove in a demanding production code
