Target audience:
Scientists who want to use C++ efficiently
Contents:

This advanced C++ training is a course on object-oriented (OO) software design with the C++ programming language. The focus of the training are the essential OO and C++ software development principles, concepts, idioms, and best practices, which enable programmers to create professional, high-quality code. Additionally, the course gives insight into kernel development with C++. The course will not address special areas and applications of C++, such as for instance Template Meta Programming (TMP), or the quirks and curiosities of the C++ language. It rather teaches guidelines to develop mature, robust, maintainable, and efficient C++ code.

After this course, participants will:

  • have a detailed understanding of the essential OO design principles
  • have gained knowledge about fundamental C++ programming concepts and idioms
  • be able to properly design classes and class interfaces
  • know about the importance of exception safe programming
  • have gained insight into kernel development with C++
  • avoid the usual pitfalls in the context of inheritance
  • comprehend the advantages of non-intrusive design
  • understand the virtue of clean code
