Advanced C++ and Modern Practices

Category: Programming

Duration: 60 Hrs

This advanced course focuses on modern C++ features and best practices for developing efficient, robust, and scalable applications. Topics include templates, the Standard Template Library (STL), exception handling, multithreading, and advanced memory management techniques. This course prepares students for professional C++ development roles.

Course Modules

Description:

Dive deeper into object-oriented programming by mastering abstraction, encapsulation, and the nuances of inheritance. Learn how static members and friend functions enhance class design and control access.

Skills Learned:

  • Implement abstraction and encapsulation for cleaner architecture
  • Use multiple inheritance and interfaces to model complex relationships
  • Apply static members and friend functions for controlled access and shared behavior


Description:

Explore robust file operations in C++, including reading/writing text and binary files. Understand file streams, modes, and how to manipulate data using random access techniques.

Skills Learned:

  • Read and write data to text and binary files
  • Use file streams with various modes (append, overwrite, etc.)
  • Implement random access for efficient file manipulation


Description:

Harness the power of STL to write efficient, reusable code. Learn to work with containers like vectors and maps, and master iterators and algorithms for high-performance programming.

Skills Learned:

  • Use STL containers: vectors, lists, queues, stacks, maps, and sets
  • Navigate data structures using iterators
  • Apply built-in algorithms for sorting, searching, and manipulation


Description:

Understand how memory is allocated and managed in C++. Learn to use new and delete safely, avoid memory leaks, and leverage smart pointers for modern memory handling.

Skills Learned:

  • Allocate and deallocate memory using new and delete
  • Detect and prevent memory leaks
  • Use smart pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr) for safer memory management


Description:

Learn how to structure larger C++ projects using multiple files. Understand the compilation process, organize code with headers and source files, and automate builds using Makefiles.

Skills Learned:

  • Separate code into header and source files for modularity
  • Understand compilation stages and linking
  • Create and use Makefiles for efficient project builds


Description:

Take templates to the next level with specialization techniques. Learn how namespaces help organize code and prevent naming conflicts in large-scale applications.

Skills Learned:

  • Implement template specialization for custom behavior
  • Create and use namespaces to structure code
  • Avoid naming collisions in multi-developer environments


Description:

Apply everything you've learned in a hands-on project—build a simulation or game using advanced C++ concepts. Present your work and receive feedback to solidify your mastery.

Skills Learned:

  • Design and implement a real-world C++ application
  • Integrate OOP, STL, file handling, and templates into one cohesive project
  • Present and evaluate code quality, functionality, and design
