C++ Refresher

Who should attend?

Software developers who want to refresh their C++ knowledge.

Prerequisites

Basic C++ knowledge.

Duration

2 – 3 days depending on the selected modules.

Course Description

This course allows C++ programmers to check their existing C++ knowledge for correctness and completeness, to recover lost C++ know-how and to acquire possibly missing knowledge.This leads to a solid understanding of the programming language C++ which, due to the memory and runtime considerations, allows especially embedded software devlopers to create powerful and reliable applications. The course is designed in a modular way and thus can be customised according to the requirements. The contents of the course are based on C++98/03. The features of the newer language standards C++11, C++14 C++17 and C++20 are covered in the course “Modern C++” which requires the knowledge taught in this course as a pre-requisite.
