What you will learn

C++ Programming skills

At this C++ Developer course online, students will receive multiple real world projects experiences which will be very valuable when applying for a job and they will also have a great hold over these features:

  • Applicants will be able to build their own programmes and use vectors and loops to parse data from a file.
  • With the help of instructors, applicants will gain knowledge about object-oriented programming and become able to write member functions.
  • Applicants will learn about memory hierarchy in computer systems, resource copying policies, the basis from r semantics and understand about smart pointers.
  • Managing threads and using mutexes, locks and condition variables will be one of the things applicants have a firm grasp on.

The syllabus

Course 1: Introduction to C++

Welcome
  • Explore C++ with insights from its creator Bjarne Stroustrup, learn its industry impact, effective learning strategies, and key coding guidelines.
Introduction to C++ and Setup
  • Get started with C++: learn program structure, compilation, data types, input/output, expressions, conditionals, loops, and user interaction through hands-on coding exercises.
Working with Data Structures and STL
  • Learn to use arrays, vectors, and STL algorithms in C++ for data storage, string manipulation, file I/O, and efficient error handling to write robust, maintainable programs.
Functions, Modularity and OOP
  • Master C++ modularity by organizing code with functions, multi-file structure, and OOP—using classes, pointers, scope, linkage, and object lifecycle features for scalable design.
Introduction to Algorithms – A Search Implementation*
  • Learn to model search problems with graphs and grids, implement A* pathfinding in C++, use STL containers and lambdas, analyze complexity, and build projects with CMake.

Course 2: Object-Oriented Programming in C++

Encapsulation and Class Design
  • Master encapsulation in object-oriented programming. Explore encapsulation principles, class structure, data hiding, and utilize getters and setters for efficient class design.
Inheritance, Composition, and Class Hierarchies
  • Learn C++ inheritance, composition, and class hierarchies: design clear, safe class structures using single/multiple inheritance, polymorphism, and the "is-a" vs. "has-a" approach.
Polymorphism in Depth and Templates
  • Master C++ polymorphism and templates to build flexible, efficient, and type-safe designs using abstract classes, interfaces, runtime dispatch, and the power of the standard library.
Error Handling Strategies and Debugging Techniques
  • Discover robust error handling in C++ with exceptions, return codes, and optionals, plus learn essential debugging, logging, assertions, and RAII for reliable, safe code.

Course 3: Memory Management

Memory Fundamentals and the System Memory Hierarchy
  • Explore C++ memory structure, pointers, addresses, the system memory hierarchy, caching, and GDB debugger use for efficient programming and troubleshooting.
Pointers and Pointer Arithmetic
  • Learn C++ pointers: how they store memory addresses, enable direct data manipulation, perform pointer arithmetic, and avoid common errors like null, dangling, and out-of-bounds pointers.
Dynamic Memory Allocation (Heap) and Ownership
  • Learn dynamic memory allocation in C++: using new/delete, preventing leaks, double deletion, and dangling pointers, and managing ownership with best practices and smart pointers.
Copy Constructors, Move Semantics, and the Rule of Three/Five
  • Learn C++ copy constructors, move semantics, and the Rule of Three/Five. Master memory management, deep vs. shallow copy, and RAII for safe, efficient resource handling.
Smart Pointers and Advanced Memory Management
  • Master C++ smart pointers for safer, modern memory management: exclusive and shared ownership, avoiding leaks, breaking cycles, and refactoring legacy code using unique, shared, and weak pointers.

Course 4: Concurrency

Threads and Parallel Execution
  • Learn how to create, manage, and synchronize threads in C++ to unlock parallel execution, avoid race conditions, and ensure safe resource management using RAII and synchronization primitives.
Threads: Sharing Data and Task Synchronization
  • Master thread communication and synchronization using promises, futures, std::async, atomics, and lock-free programming for scalable, efficient concurrent applications.
Mutexes, Locks, and Condition Variables
  • Master advanced thread synchronization with mutexes, locks, and condition variables to build correct, efficient, and deadlock-free concurrent systems using modern C++ techniques.
