Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (available 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 rigorous 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, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software that is resilient against cyberattacks.

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

Is it advisable to apply object-oriented programming principles within microcontrollers?

Does C++ remain sufficiently close to the hardware to ensure efficiency?

This instructor-led live training explores these questions, demonstrating through discussion and practical exercises how C++ can be leveraged to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants will translate theory into practice by building a sample embedded application in C++.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the fundamental principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Produce code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Prevent code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Comprehend 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 blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and intensive hands-on practice

This two-day course is designed for C++ programmers looking to apply the C++11 standard in their professional practice. It is especially valuable for financial applications developers, covering all new features with hands-on coding examples executed in the lab.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) is aimed at 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 training programme aims to present C++ as the natural evolution of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Because C++ encompasses C, the course guides participants from C to C++ in a logical manner, while also examining the underlying implementation mechanisms. Understanding these internals is particularly crucial when deploying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. The C++ standard has recently undergone significant updates with C++11, and C++14 is soon to follow. This course focuses on features introduced in these revisions that are highly beneficial, such as high-performance memory management, concurrency leveraging multicore architectures, and low-level, bare-metal programming close to the hardware.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this course is to enable you to apply C++ in a "correct" manner.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented alternative within the context of embedded systems.
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and C.
• Understand various memory management strategies, with a specific focus on move semantics introduced in C++11.
• Examine the underlying mechanics to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code.
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-order abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-close programming—including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts—particularly leveraging variadic templates from C++11.
• Present useful design patterns, especially those applicable in embedded contexts.
• Include exercises to practice the concepts covered.

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers who wish to begin using C++ in an embedded systems environment.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires fundamental knowledge of C++ programming, equivalent to our "C++ – Level 1" and "C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11" training modules.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Throughout the training, you will practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will utilize the open-source Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE).

This instructor-led live training in Norway (online or on-site) targets developers who wish to apply object-oriented programming techniques using C to enhance 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 Norway (online or onsite) is designed for web designers who want to build dynamic, cross-platform UIs using Qt Quick and QML.

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

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