Modern C++ Software Design (Intermediate)

Prerequisites

Prerequisites Intermediate C++ (this course):

Course participants should have basic UNIX/Linux knowledge (login with secure shell, shell commands, simple scripts, editor vi or emacs). At least one year of experience with the language is needed. This includes a good understanding of the basic mechanics (header files, source files, compilation), good knowledge of the syntax of C++, and some experience with templates and inheritance.

Prerequisites Advanced C++ (other course type):

Course participants should have basic UNIX/Linux knowledge (login with secure shell, shell commands, simple scripts, editor vi or emacs). At least two to three years of experience with the language is needed. This includes a solid knowledge of the syntax of C++, experience with both template-based and inheritance-based designs and some experience with design patterns.

Please choose the course that fits best to you!
