Advanced Techniques in C and C++ - 2 days

Objectives

To be fully competent with advanced techniques in C and C++, by knowing the power of the language, where to use advanced features, how to incorporate these into large, real life examples, and see how some of these techniques are used in advanced real life situations.

Note this course covers Advanced C, and advanced aspects of C that are shared with C++. It does not cover C++ specific topics. See our Object Oriented programming with C++ (C++ for C programmers) and Advanced Object Oriented programming with C++ courses for those topics.

Expected outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:

Use pointers for many different uses, including in argument passing and dynamic memory.
Use and know when to use complex data structures, such as arrays of pointers (ragged arrays) and linked lists.
Use pointers to functions and sorting to organise your data.
Grasp some management issues of C/C++ programmed systems, including large-scale design, development and libraries.

Audience

This course is aimed at programmers familiar with programming in C or C++, who want to learn the full power of the language. This course is not specific to any hardware or operating platform.

Prerequisites

Good working knowledge of any C or C++, including thorough knowledge of functions and structures.
