Learn the relevant library and language changes
Participants are given ample opportunity to lift their C++ skills to the next level with this comprehensive course, designed for developers with a good working knowledge of the C++ language.
The course offers modern techniques and tools from C++11 to C++20, and even some features from C++23, giving participants the ability to write better, more efficient and less error-prone code.
The primary goal of the Advanced Modern C++ training course is to help you understand how the latest advancements in C++ can significantly enhance your coding abilities. We will explore a wide range of modern features, techniques, and best practices that can make your codebase better organized, easier to maintain, and more intuitive to reason about. By leveraging these improvements, you will be able to write code more effectively, with a focus on reducing bugs and increasing overall code quality.
Throughout the course, we will build upon your existing C++ knowledge and fill any gaps that you may have encountered. We will provide a comprehensive review of core concepts and reinforce your understanding of key language features.
Additionally, we will dive into advanced topics, such as move semantics, automatic type deduction, smart pointers, lambda expressions, and template metaprogramming. You will learn how to leverage these techniques to write concise, expressive, and efficient code.
Courses are offered by KDAB trainers with a deep knowledge of the C++ language as well as possessing excellent tutoring skills.
All our training courses consist of a mix of presentation and labs, with class numbers restricted to a maximum of 12 people to ensure personal attention.
We offer two types of in-person training: Scheduled, for individuals from diverse companies and In-Company for teams. Some on-line options are also available.
