Course: Advanced C++ with Focus on Software Engineering

It is our pleasure to announce an online retake of the successful short course “Advanced C++ with Focus on Software Engineering”.

This advanced C++ training is a course on software development with the C++ programming language. The focus of the training are the essential C++ software development principles, concepts, idioms, and best practices, which enable programmers to create professional, high-quality code. The course will give insight into the different aspects of C++ (object-oriented programming, functional programming, generic programming) and will teach guidelines to develop mature, robust, maintainable, and efficient C++ code.

After the course, the participants

  • will have gained knowledge about fundamental C++ programming concepts and idioms
  • will benefit from both object-oriented and functional programming
  • will have a detailed understanding of template-based programming
  • will be able to properly design classes and class interfaces
  • will avoid the usual pitfalls in the context of inheritance
  • will comprehend the advantages of value-based design
  • will understand the virtue of clean code

Course prerequisites:

Course participants should have basic UNIX/Linux knowledge (login with secure shell, shell commands, simple scripts, editor vi or emacs). A solid base on C++ and at least one year of experience with the language is needed. This includes a good familiarity with the syntax of C++, experience with templates and inheritance hierarchies.
