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.
