Join us for a 1 day course in Denver, CO, USA April 20, 2017

Understanding Object Lifetime in C++

by Jason Turner

About the training:

C++ has what very few other languages have: a well defined object life cycle. Understanding this key aspect of C++ is critical to writing clean, maintainable, and efficient C++.

Join us for an interactive one day workshop where we will describe the lifecycle of an object in C++ and work through increasingly complex examples. Come prepared for lots of group discussion. There will be something for C++ developers of all skill levels to learn.

You will leave the workshop with an increased knowledge of C++ that will help you to design better programs and libraries.

"What's new in C++11/14?" Training in Berlin, 04-06 April 2017

By Giuseppe D'Angelo | Mar 9, 2017 12:49 PM | Tags: None

Join us in the upcoming C++11/14 training in Berlin, 04-06 April 2017.

What's new in C++11/14?

Training course by KDAB

About the training

C++11 is a new major version of the C++ standard, released in 2011, and brings many new features to C++ that make the language safer, faster as well as easier and more fun to use. Every professional C++ developer will sooner or later come into contact with C++11/C++14 and introducing its advantages early can only be beneficial.

In this hands-on C++11 and C++14 training for professional C++ developers, you will learn the language changes and the standard library changes introduced in C++11 as well as the changes from C++14.

In class, C++11 and C++14 will be demonstrated with the aid of many examples, and you will get the opportunity to use C++11 and C++14 right away in our lab projects.

The full table of contents for the course is available here.

An update on the Meeting C++ Workshop Day

I finally can announce that the workshops will end with talks by James McNellis and Michael Caisse:

An Update on the workshop day

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Michael Caisse - boost.fusion: power to the tuples

    Tuples provide heterogeneous, compile-time containers; however, they can be difficult to use at run-time. Boost.Fusion brings together compile-time and run-time semantics to produce the STL of the meta-programming world. It is the machinery behind several Boost libraries and is a common element in many of the solutions provided by Ciere Consulting.

James McNellis - Practical C++ Coroutines

    One of the most interesting new features being proposed for C++ standardization is coroutines, formerly known as “resumable functions”. C++ coroutines are designed to be highly scalable, highly efficient (no overhead), and highly extensible, while still interacting seamlessly with the rest of the C++ language.

• June 20-23 (English)

Abstract:

Templates (generic programming)

• Function templates
• Class templates
• Variadic Templates (C++11)
• Concepts
• Specialization
• Template arguments that are not types
• Functors
• Lambda functions (C++11)

Standard Template Library

• Iterator concept
• Containers
• Functions
• Meta-programming
• Let the compiler compute
• Providing type informations
• Auto and decltype (C++11)
• Const-adaptive classes
• Expression templates

Other advanced and new techniques

• Calling functions from derived classes without overhead
• RValues and move semantics (C++11)
• Initialization lists (C++11)
• New for-loops (C++11)

Peter Gottschling is author of the Matrix Template Library 4, co-author of the Boost Graph Library and other scientific libraries. He is vice-chair of DIN's programming language group and head of the German delegation in the ISO committee for C++ standardization. He is managing director of SimuNova and taught C++ at TU Dresden, TU Berlin and Indiana University.

I finally can announce the Meeting C++ Workshop day on Dec. 3rd in front of the Meeting C++ Conference:

Announcing the Meeting C++ Workshop Day!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

For the first time ever, I do organize a Workshop Day in front of Meeting C++! This is going to be a fun day giving you the knowledge of either C++ in embedded or parallelism.

While some details are still in the making, I already can announce that the speakers of the parallelism workshop are Thomas Heller, Boris Schäling and Michael Wong! The embedded workshop will feature a hands on session from KDAB "Creating HMI for embedded devices with C++ and Qt/QML" by Tobias Koenig.

C++ USA Roadshow – September

In September, well-known software trainers KDAB, will visit Boston, Chicago, Austin and the Bay Area with a 2 day training class designed for seasoned C++ users on “What’s new in C++11 and C++14?”.

About the Training:

What’s in it for me?

The importance of C++11/C++14 in the C++ ecosystem is growing fast and inevitably will become the version most used before long. Every professional developer should invest in learning it and introducing its benefits into projects.

C++11 and C++14 bring a large range of new features that make development safer, faster, easier and more fun. Once you have tried features like lambda functions, range-based for loops, the auto keyword and the new initialization syntax, you won’t want to go back.

You will also learn many more advanced features like variadic templates, rvalue reference and of course the new standard library additions like multithreading classes, smart pointers, regular expressions and new containers and algorithms.

Course topics include both the language and the standard library changes introduced in C++11, as well as the changes from C++14, all of which changes are clearly marked in the material in case you do not yet have a C++14-capable compiler.

See the table of contents for the detailed list.

This compressed, in-depth 2 day training covers all the topics you will get from our regular 3 day training, so bring your laptop, and be ready for an exciting ride.
