Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Slovakia (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 modeling—from foundational computational algorithms and data structures to derivatives pricing models, risk analytics, and performance-optimized implementations. The course guides practitioners through a comprehensive, project-based curriculum that bridges theoretical finance with production-grade code, enabling professionals to build accurate, high-speed simulation systems utilized in trading, market analysis, and risk management.

Developing secure C and C++ code demands a rigorous 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 implement defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Is C++ a viable choice for embedded systems, including microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming principles be applied within microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from the hardware to achieve optimal efficiency?

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

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

• Grasp the core principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Write code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Prevent code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Understand 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

Spanning two days, this course is designed for C++ developers keen on leveraging the C++11 standard in their professional work. It is especially beneficial for developers in the financial sector, as it covers all new features with practical coding examples to be implemented during the lab sessions.

This training session aims to present C++ as the natural evolution of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ encompasses C, the course guides participants from C to C++ in a logical progression, revealing the internal mechanics of C++ implementation. Understanding these internals is crucial for effectively applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard undergoing significant updates, notably with the introduction of C++11 and the upcoming C++14, this course focuses on features from these revisions that are particularly beneficial for embedded developers. Key topics include high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and low-level, hardware-proximity programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this class is to enable participants to use C++ in a "correct" and effective manner.

• Present C++ as an object-oriented alternative within the context of embedded systems.
• Highlight both 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 mechanisms to comprehend how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code.
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-close programming (such as memory-mapped I/O and interrupts), particularly leveraging variadic templates from C++11.
• Explore useful design patterns specifically applicable to embedded contexts.
• Participate in exercises to practice key concepts.

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

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

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course assumes basic knowledge 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 presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will utilize the open and free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.
