In-depth C++ training covering quantitative methods modelling and introducing a major project to give trainees real hands-on experience using C++ for quantitative finance roles.

This three-day course covers the fundamentals of securing C/C++ code against malicious users who may exploit numerous vulnerabilities, particularly those related to memory management and input handling. The course explores the principles of writing secure code.

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

Should object-oriented programming be used in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too distant from the hardware to be efficient?

This instructor-led, live training addresses these questions and demonstrates, through discussion and hands-on practice, how C++ can be used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theory to practice by creating a sample embedded application in C++.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Produce code for embedded systems that is small, fast, and safe
• Avoid code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand the issues related to using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
• Debug a C++ program on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

• A blend of lecture, discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This is a two-day course designed for C++ programmers keen to apply the new C++11 standard in their industry. It is particularly beneficial for developers working on financial applications, covering all new features with coding examples to be executed within the lab

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) offers an introductory overview of C++, the Qt GUI framework, and various communication technologies, including ZeroMQ and Protocol Buffers, which are essential for building distributed applications.

By the end of this training, participants will have the knowledge and practical experience required to write and compile an application using C++, Qt, and gcc on Linux CentOS 6/7. Participants will also integrate asynchronous messaging capabilities using ZeroMQ and Protocol Buffers.

This training aims to introduce C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented development in embedded systems. Since C++ encompasses C, this course guides you from C to C++ in a seamless manner, exploring the inner workings of how C++ is implemented. This understanding is particularly valuable when applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. The C++ standard has recently undergone a major revision, known as C++11, with C++14 now emerging. This course covers key enhancements introduced by these revisions that are especially beneficial, 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 course is to equip you with the ability to use C++ in a “correct” and effective way.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented language alternative within the embedded systems context
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C and C++
• Understand various memory management strategies, particularly move semantics introduced with C++11
• Explore the underlying implementation to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Utilise templates to achieve type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal programming near the hardware—including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts—focusing especially on variadic templates introduced with C++11
• Present practical design patterns particularly suited to embedded contexts
• Include hands-on exercises to reinforce key concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers who intend to begin using C++ in embedded system development.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course assumes a foundational understanding of C++ programming, equivalent to our courses “C++ – Level 1” and “C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11”.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Throughout the training, you will apply the concepts covered through a series of practical exercises. We will utilise the open-source and free integrated development environment from Eclipse.
