This training course is designed for design and development engineers. For the practical side of the course, a certain level of knowledge of the fundamental concepts of object technologies is a plus.
Prerequisites:
• Knowledge of the C language is appreciated.
Ratio of theory to practice:
• 50/50

Objectives
Being efficient in the field of distributed application design means concentrating on business issues rather than application distribution problems, whilst being This training course is designed to prepare successful technology migration, by revising C programming habits in order to carry out true object programming in C++.
C++ programming techniques will be explored through the particularities of the language: memory allocation, exceptions, operators, ...
This training course takes into account constraints resulting from large-scale software development in C++.
