From (requirements) – knowledge of computer use, C programming knowledge. An IDE – Visual Studio 2015 with Boost support.
- Mid-level C++ knowledge is a must (topics covered in my Basic C++ training)
- Any missing topic must be communicated prior to starting the training to allow adaptation of topics.
To (target) – Strong use of C++ using C++11/14 features, multithreading.
How (structure) – modular, to allow customization of topics if needed.
Strategy
Every topic is illustrated in a practical manner using exercises and code snippets.
The layout of this course is arranged so as to provide a practical approach, increasing exercises in complexity.
The course duration is 24 hours, over a 3 days period.
