Overview

Developers of high quality software must understand the intricacies of their chosen language. C++ is a powerful language with a rich variety of capabilities. The course highlights potential pitfalls in the use of C++ for application development. The course emphasises best practice in object oriented software development using C++. The course builds on the topics covered on the basic C++ programming course.

Benefit
The course has been designed by exponents of C++ whose focus is on promoting software improvement through quality standard enforcement. On course completion, participants should be able to demonstrate an understanding of C++ language insecurities and issues that can adversely impact the overall quality and performance of their applications.

Who should Attend
The course is designed for developers who are required to write quality C++ code, quality assurance professionals and managers who are responsible for quality development initiatives. It is anticipated that experienced C++ developers will find much to challenge their understanding of the language.

Instructional Method
The course is presented in lecture style with numerous exercises and real-world case studies tailored to each topic.

Prerequisites
An understanding of C++ language syntax is assumed as well as some practical experience in using the language. It will be helpful if delegates had taken the basic C++ programming course.
