C++ Training in Nantes

This instructor-led, live training in Nantes (online or onsite) is designed for developers who wish to leverage advanced C++ programming techniques to create 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.

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands rigorous safeguards against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will implement secure coding guidelines, leverage static analysis tools, and apply defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and build software that is resilient against cyber threats.

Is C++ appropriate for embedded systems such as microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming be employed within microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from the hardware to remain efficient?

This instructor-led, live training explores these questions, demonstrating through discussion and practical exercises how C++ can be utilized to develop embedded systems with code that is precise, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theoretical knowledge by building a sample embedded application in C++.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Generate code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and safe
• Prevent code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand the challenges associated with using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
• Debug a C++ program on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Course Format

• A blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This 2-day course is designed for C++ developers eager to implement the new C++11 standard in their professional practice. It is especially valuable for developers working on financial applications, as it covers all new features with hands-on coding examples executed in a lab environment.

This instructor-led live training in Nantes (online or onsite) targets C++ developers who want to use CUDA to accelerate applications, write high-performance GPU kernels, and leverage parallel algorithm libraries for scientific computing, data processing, and machine learning workloads.

This training program introduces C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ incorporates C, the course guides participants from C to C++ in a logical manner, examining the underlying mechanisms of C++ implementation. This insight is particularly valuable when applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. The C++ standard has undergone significant revisions, notably C++11, with C++14 following. This course focuses on features introduced in these revisions that offer substantial benefits, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency leveraging multicore environments, and bare-metal programming close to the hardware.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this class is to enable you to use C++ in a "correct" manner.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative in the context of embedded systems
• Highlight the similarities and differences with the C language
• Understand various memory management strategies, especially move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examine the underlying implementation to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-close programming, including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts, particularly using variadic templates introduced in C++11
• Present useful design patterns applicable to embedded contexts
• Include exercises to practice key concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers intending to start using C++ in an embedded system context.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires basic knowledge of C++ programming, equivalent to our trainings "C++ – Level 1" and "C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11".

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

During the training, you will practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will use the open and free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training in Nantes (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 Nantes delivers an in-depth examination of Qt and its modules.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will have the requisite knowledge and practice to develop their own C++ applications using Qt.
