Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (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.

Developing secure C and C++ code demands robust defenses 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, leverage static analysis tools, and utilize 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 applied in microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from hardware to be efficient?

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

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

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Write code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Prevent code bloat from 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

• A mix of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This is a 2-day course designed for C++ developers who wish to implement the latest C++11 standard in their professional work. It is especially beneficial for those working on financial applications, as it covers all new features with practical coding examples that participants can execute during lab sessions.

This training programme is designed to introduce C++ as the natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ encompasses C, the course guides participants from C to C++ in a logical progression, exploring the internal implementation of C++. This understanding is particularly valuable when applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard recently undergoing significant revisions—specifically C++11 and the upcoming C++14—this course covers key features introduced in these updates. Topics include high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and low-level bare-metal programming close to the hardware.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to equip you with the ability to use C++ 'correctly' and effectively.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative for embedded system contexts.
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and the C language.
• Understand various memory management strategies, with a focus on move semantics introduced in C++11.
• Look under the hood to understand how different C++ paradigms translate to 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 introduced in C++11.
• Present useful design patterns specifically applicable to embedded contexts.
• Provide practical exercises to reinforce key concepts.

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

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

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires 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.
