Learn advanced object programming paradigms in C++ variants 11, 14 and 17.

Course teaches the participant to use the advanced object programming paradigms in C++ variants 11, 14 and 17. The course builds on basic C++ knowledge to enable the participants utilize constructs such as move semantics, lambdas, templates etc. in their C++ software solutions. Thanks to these high level OOP, C++ is great to model complex systems, such as autonomous driving systems in vehicles.

Course topics:

• C++ language extensions (C++11, C++14, C++17), nullptr, auto, scoped enumerations, compile-time assertions, string literals

• C++ better class design: override, final, implicitly-declared operations, =delete, =default, delegating constructors, explicit, user-defined literals (UDL)

• Move semantics: move constructor, move assignment, the rule of five, rvalue references, perfect forwarding, forwarding references

• Lambdas: function objects, lambda expressions, variable capturing, generic lambdas, return type deduction, usage with STL algorithms

• Multithreading: threads, passing parameters to threads, thread joining, mutexes, locking, condition variables, semaphores

• Templates: function templates, variadic templates, tuples, template specializations, type traits, if constexpr

Hardware (required): Computer with Internet connection, working speakers and microphone.

Software: Chrome browser.

Course Typically Offered: Live Online in Fall quarter (mid June - August), Winter quarter (mid January - March), Spring quarter (April - mid June) or Summer quarter (mid June - August).

Prerequisites: Students should have basic programming knowledge in C++.

Next Step: To gain additional knowledge in specific domains where C++ language is heavily utilized, consider taking the courses from the Automotive engineering catalog (NIT-AU-XX) or Consumer electronics catalog (NIT-CE-XX).
