<h3>2 days workshop</h3> <h2>Abstract</h2> <p>In this class, you'll dive into C++ and compare it to the language you already know and use, C.</p> <p>The class is perfect for you if you're from an embedded environment transitioning from C to C++. Therefore we look only at constructs that are commonly used in constrained environments.</p> <p>You'll first see some notable differences between the two languages. Yes, some old habits will have to go.</p> <p>Next, you'll learn about the object-oriented part of C++, classes, and how they work.</p> <p>This base is followed by various C++ features that make the language easy to use, such as range-based for loops.</p> <p>There is also a section about dynamic memory management and what options you have in C++, assuming several constraints exist.</p> <p>The final lesson is about a major part of C++, the Standard Template Library, short STL. I present a list of headers that are safe to use in constraint environments. And, you'll learn about some STL elements that will ease your life.</p> <p>After this class, you have a good understanding of programming C++. With your existing knowledge of C, this class will help you to adapt to C++ quickly.</p> <h2>Course Outline</h2> <ul> <li>Some differences between C and C++</li> <li>Classes and inheritance</li> <li>Language features in C++</li> <li>Dynamic memory management</li> <li>Interesting parts of the STL</li> </ul> <h2>Prerequisites</h2> <p>Good knowledge of the C language is required.</p> <h2>Dates</h2> <p>The workshop takes place on the weekend prior to the start of the conference (July 15 &amp; July 16).
