Trainings Details
C++ is no longer C with classes and it never was just an Object-Oriented language. C++ is a general-purpose programming language. It has procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation. If used correctly, it provides hard to beat performance.
Such usage requires a good knowledge of C++ templates and Modern C++ Idioms which are much different from commonly known design patterns popularized by GoF book and invented to handle common use cases in pure OO languages like Java or C#. Learning C++-specific idioms will allow us to build powerful tools that are useful in the everyday work of every C++ developer. The hands-on part of the workshop will cover RAII, Copy-and-Swap, Smart Pointer, Type Traits, Policy-based Design, EBO, Type Erasure, CRTP, and other popular C++ Idioms.
The training targets C++ developers and code architects that want to improve their skills in implementing general-purpose tools.
