Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Mexico (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++ applications demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation vulnerabilities. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion issues. Participants will implement secure coding standards, leverage static analysis tools, and apply defensive programming practices to mitigate weaknesses, ensure proper input sanitization, and deliver software that is resilient against cyber threats.

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

Should object-oriented programming be utilized in microcontroller development?

Does C++ abstract the hardware too much to be efficient?

This instructor-led, live training tackles these questions, demonstrating through discussion and practice how C++ can be leveraged to build embedded systems with code that is precise, readable, and efficient. Participants apply theory by developing a sample embedded application in C++.

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

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Generate code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Avoid 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 C++ programs on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

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

This 2-day course is designed for C++ developers looking to integrate the C++11 standard into their professional work. It is especially beneficial for those developing financial applications, as it covers all new features with practical coding examples that will be implemented in the lab.

This instructor-led, live training in Mexico (online or onsite) is designed for C++ developers who wish to use CUDA to accelerate applications, write high-performance GPU kernels, and leverage parallel algorithm libraries for scientific computing, data processing, and machine learning workloads.

This course introduces C++ as the natural evolution of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ is built upon C, this training guides participants from C to C++ seamlessly, providing insight into the underlying implementation of C++. Understanding this foundation is crucial when applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard undergoing significant updates, specifically with the introduction of C++11 and the upcoming C++14, this course focuses on features from these revisions that are particularly beneficial, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and bare-metal programming close to the hardware.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this class is to ensure you can utilize C++ in an embedded context "correctly" and effectively.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative in the embedded system landscape
• Highlight 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 internal workings to see how different C++ paradigms translate to machine code
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-proximate programming—such as memory-mapped I/O and interrupts—leveraging variadic templates from C++11
• Present useful design patterns specifically applicable to embedded contexts
• Include practical exercises to reinforce key concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

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

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course assumes basic proficiency in C++ programming, equivalent to completion of our "C++ – Level 1" and "C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11" trainings.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Throughout the training, you will practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will use the open-source and free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training in Mexico (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use C to apply object-oriented programming techniques and improve software design.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to: implement object-oriented concepts in C, design modular applications, apply encapsulation and abstraction, and structure maintainable codebases.

This instructor-led live training in Mexico (online or onsite) is aimed at web designers who wish to build cross-platform and dynamic UIs using Qt Quick and QML.

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

• Design prototypes for application UIs using QML.
• Create and implement an application's UI elements using QML.
• Implement animations, transforms, and transitions to create a more responsive experience for users of the application.
