Functional Programming with C++ Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Australia (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use advanced C++ programming techniques to develop complex, secure, and high-performance systems and applications.

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

• Set up a development environment that includes all C++ libraries, packages and frameworks.
• Understand the features, components, and basic elements of C++.
• Create complex C++ applications using advanced programming techniques.
• Learn how to write readable, fast, and secure code in C++.
• Know the common security pitfalls in C++ language and how to mitigate them.
• Implement test strategies for code quality and security control.
• Use the diagnostics and debugging tools in C++ development.

Empowers quantitative developers with advanced C++ techniques specifically designed for financial modelling. The course covers core computational algorithms and data structures, derivatives pricing models, risk analytics, and performance-optimised implementations. Through a comprehensive project-based curriculum, it bridges the gap between theoretical finance and production-grade code, enabling professionals to build accurate, high-speed simulation systems for trading, market analysis, and risk management.

Developing secure C and C++ code demands rigorous defence against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This programme examines vulnerability patterns including buffer overflows, use-after-free, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants apply secure coding guidelines, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitisation, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Is C++ appropriate for embedded systems, including microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming be employed in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too distant from the hardware to deliver optimal efficiency?

This instructor-led, live training addresses these queries and demonstrates, through discussion and practical exercises, how C++ can be leveraged to build embedded systems with code that is precise, readable, and efficient. Participants will translate theory into practice by developing a sample embedded application in C++.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Grasping the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Developing code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Preventing code bloat resulting from templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understanding the challenges associated with using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
• Debugging a C++ program on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

• A blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This two-day programme is designed for C++ developers keen to apply the latest C++11 standard in their professional environments. It is especially beneficial for those developing financial applications, offering a comprehensive coverage of new features accompanied by practical coding examples executed in the lab.

This training programme is designed to introduce C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ encompasses C, the course guides you smoothly from C to C++ while examining the internal mechanics of how C++ is implemented. This deep dive is particularly valuable for understanding how to apply C++ effectively in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard undergoing significant revisions—namely C++11 and the forthcoming C++14—this course focuses on key features introduced by these updates that are especially beneficial, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and low-level, hardware-close programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to ensure you can utilise C++ in a 'correct' and effective manner.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative within the embedded systems context.
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and C.
• Understand various memory management strategies, particularly the move semantics introduced in C++11.
• Examine the underlying implementation to see how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code.
• Utilise templates to create type-safe, high-order abstractions for low-level, hardware-proximate programming—including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts—especially leveraging variadic templates from C++11.
• Present useful design patterns specifically applicable to embedded contexts.
• Include practical exercises to reinforce key concepts.

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is tailored for C++ programmers looking to begin applying C++ in embedded system development.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

Participants require basic knowledge of C++ programming, equivalent to our 'C++ – Level 1' and 'C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11' courses.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Throughout the training, you will practise the concepts presented through a series of exercises. We will utilise the open-source, free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training in Australia (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use C to apply object-oriented programming techniques and improve software design.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to: implement object-oriented concepts in C, design modular applications, apply encapsulation and abstraction, and structure maintainable codebases.

This course provides a thorough overview of the object-oriented language C++, illustrated through straightforward examples. Participants will investigate the history and evolution of C++, examining procedural programming techniques, fundamental language constructs, as well as data types and declarations. By exploring key object-oriented principles such as classes, operator overloading, and templates, learners will gain mastery over abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. Through practical work with standard containers, algorithms, and iterators, teams will delve into memory management, namespaces, and exception handling. Participants will learn to navigate compiled programs, manage exceptions, and utilise file streams to construct robust, production-ready C++ solutions.

This instructor-led, live training conducted Australia provides a thorough exploration of Qt and its modules.

By the end of the session, attendees will have acquired the requisite knowledge and practical experience to build their own C++ applications using Qt.

This instructor-led, live training in Australia covers the fundamentals of game development with Unreal Engine 4 while giving participants the chance to create their own sample game.
