Learn optimized C++ coding and debugging for automation, gaming, and embedded systems.
This course covers object-oriented programming using modern C++. Because most automation, embedded applications, gaming, and many large data processing applications are written in C++, it is essential that software developers understand and master it. Hardware engineers are increasingly using C++ and OOP in system verification tasks and as of the current decade, there has been a noticeable shift from C to C++ on microcontroller systems.
This course offers an excellent foundation in developing optimized modern C++ applications. The participants will learn to write faster and modular code, and the debugging techniques, for real-world applications. There will be assignments and exercises to accompany the lectures.
Experience with a high level programming language such as C/Java/Python.
Course has been postponed from the original start date. See full schedule below.
