Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led live training in Greece (online or onsite) is designed for developers who wish to utilize 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.

This C++ workshop explores essential modern programming paradigms, such as templates, move semantics, and first-class functions.

It places a strong focus on memory management through the use of smart pointers and adheres to secure coding standards.

Participants will study runtime errors, operator overloading, polymorphism, and the use of STL containers alongside algorithms.
The course wraps up with an overview of effective testing strategies within the C++ ecosystem.

Developing secure C and C++ code demands a robust defense against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This program explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, utilize static analysis tools, and employ defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software that is resilient against cyberattacks.

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

Should object-oriented programming be employed in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from the hardware to ensure efficiency?

This instructor-led, live training tackles these questions by demonstrating through discussion and practical exercises how C++ can be utilized to develop embedded systems with code that is precise, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theoretical knowledge by creating a sample embedded application in C++.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Generate code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Prevent code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Comprehend the challenges associated with 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++ developers eager to integrate the C++11 standard into their professional practice. It is especially beneficial for financial application developers, covering all new features with practical coding examples to be executed during lab sessions.

This instructor-led, live training in Greece (online or onsite) targets C++ developers who wish to use CUDA to accelerate applications, write high-performance GPU kernels, and leverage parallel algorithm libraries for scientific computing, data processing, and machine learning workloads.

This training programme aims to present C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ is built upon C, this course facilitates a smooth transition from C to C++, providing an in-depth look at the underlying implementation mechanisms of C++. This insight is particularly crucial when deploying C++ within the constrained resources of an embedded environment. The C++ standard has recently undergone significant updates with the introduction of C++11, and C++14 is now emerging. This course covers key features introduced in these revisions that are highly beneficial for embedded development, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and low-level, hardware-adjacent programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to ensure that you can utilize C++ in a "correct way" within embedded contexts.

• Present C++ as an object-oriented alternative for embedded systems.
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and C.
• Understand various memory management strategies, with a focus on move semantics introduced in C++11.
• Examine the underlying implementation to see how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code.
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-close programming—including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts—especially leveraging variadic templates from C++11.
• Explore useful design patterns specifically applicable to the embedded domain.
• Engage in practical exercises to reinforce key concepts.

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

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

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires fundamental 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 practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will use the open-source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training in Greece (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use C++ to apply object-oriented programming techniques and enhance 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 instructor-led live training in Greece (available online or onsite) is designed for web designers who wish to build cross-platform and dynamic UIs using Qt Quick and QML.

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

• Design application UI prototypes using QML.
• Create and implement application UI elements using QML.
• Implement animations, transforms, and transitions to create a more responsive experience for application users.
