Functional Programming with C++ Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (online or onsite) is designed for 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:

• Configure a development environment that incorporates all necessary C++ libraries, packages, and frameworks.
• Grasp the features, components, and fundamental elements of C++.
• Develop complex C++ applications using advanced programming techniques.
• Write clean, efficient, and secure C++ code.
• Identify common security pitfalls in C++ and learn how to mitigate them.
• Implement testing strategies to ensure code quality and security.
• Utilise diagnostics and debugging tools within C++ development.

This course empowers quantitative developers with advanced C++ techniques specifically designed for financial modeling. It covers essential computational algorithms and data structures, derivatives pricing models, risk analytics, and high-performance implementations. Through a comprehensive, project-based curriculum, the course bridges the gap between theoretical finance and production-ready code, enabling professionals to develop accurate, high-speed simulation systems crucial for trading, market analysis, and risk management.

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands rigorous protection against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This programme explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding standards, leverage static analysis tools, and adopt defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

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 far removed from the hardware to be efficient?

This instructor-led, live training addresses these questions and demonstrates through discussion and practice how C++ can be used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants put theory into practice through the creation of 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 from 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

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This two-day course is designed for C++ programmers keen on leveraging the C++11 standard in their professional work. It is especially valuable for developers working on financial applications, covering all new features with coding examples for hands-on lab execution.

This training programme aims to introduce C++ as the standard extension for implementing object-oriented development in embedded systems. Because C++ encompasses C, this course facilitates a smooth transition from C to C++, while also exploring the underlying implementation mechanisms of C++. This understanding is particularly crucial when deploying C++ within the resource-constrained environments typical of embedded systems. The C++ standard has recently undergone a significant update, known as C++11, with C++14 following closely. This course covers key features introduced by these revisions that are highly beneficial, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and bare-metal programming that interacts closely with the hardware.

GOALS AND BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to equip you with the skills to use C++ in a 'correct' and effective manner.

• Position C++ as an object-oriented language alternative within the context of embedded systems
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C and C++
• Understand various memory management strategies, with a specific focus on move semantics introduced in C++11
• Examine the underlying mechanics to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Leverage templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-proximate programming (such as memory-mapped I/O and interrupts), including the use of variadic templates introduced in C++11
• Explore useful design patterns, particularly those applicable to embedded contexts
• Engage in practical exercises to reinforce conceptual understanding

AUDIENCE AND PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers who wish to begin applying C++ in an embedded systems context.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

Participants are expected to have a foundational understanding of C++ programming, equivalent to our trainings 'C++ – Level 1' and 'C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11'.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

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

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia (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 exploration of C++, an object-oriented programming language, utilizing straightforward examples. The curriculum covers the evolution and history of C++, enabling participants to analyze procedural programming techniques, fundamental language constructs, data types, and declarations. Learners delve into core object-oriented principles such as classes, operator overloading, and templates, mastering key concepts like abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. Through practical application with standard containers, algorithms, and iterators, teams investigate memory management, namespaces, and exception handling. Participants gain proficiency in managing compiled programs, handling exceptions, and manipulating file streams, equipping them to develop robust, production-ready C++ applications.

This instructor-led, live training in Malaysia delivers in-depth coverage of Qt and its modules.

By the end of this session, participants will have the necessary knowledge and practice to develop their own C++ application using Qt.

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