Qt Programming Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or onsite) is designed for developers who wish to utilize advanced C++ programming techniques to create complex, secure, and high-performance systems and applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Configure a development environment that includes all C++ libraries, packages, and frameworks.
• Comprehend the features, components, and foundational elements of C++.
• Develop complex C++ applications utilizing advanced programming methodologies.
• Master the art of writing code in C++ that is readable, efficient, and secure.
• Identify common security pitfalls in the C++ language and learn how to mitigate them.
• Implement testing strategies to ensure code quality and security control.
• Utilize diagnostic and debugging tools effectively in C++ development.

Equips quantitative developers with advanced C++ techniques tailored for financial modeling — from core computational algorithms and data structures to derivatives pricing models, risk analytics, and performance-optimized implementations. Guides practitioners through a comprehensive project-based curriculum that bridges theoretical finance with production-grade code, enabling professionals to build accurate, high-speed simulation systems used in trading, market analysis, and risk management.

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will implement secure coding standards, leverage static analysis tools, and adopt defensive programming practices to mitigate weaknesses, ensure proper input sanitization, and build software that is resilient against cyber threats.

Is C++ appropriate for embedded environments like microcontrollers and real-time operating systems?

Should object-oriented programming be applied to microcontrollers?

Is C++ too abstracted from the hardware to achieve efficiency?

This instructor-led, live training tackles these questions, illustrating through discussion and practical exercises how C++ can be utilized to build embedded systems with code that is precise, readable, and efficient. Participants will apply theoretical knowledge by developing a sample embedded application in C++.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the principles of object-oriented modeling, embedded software programming, and real-time programming
• Generate code for embedded systems that is compact, fast, and secure
• Prevent code bloat caused by templates, exceptions, and other language features
• Identify challenges associated with using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
• Debug a C++ program on a target device

Audience

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

• A mix of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This is a 2-day course aimed at C++ programmers who are interested in applying the new C++11 standard in their industry. It is particularly useful for financial applications developers covering all new features with coding examples to be executed within the lab

This training aims to introduce C++ as a natural extension of C for object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ encompasses C, the course guides participants from C to C++ in a seamless manner, exploring the underlying implementation mechanisms. This insight is particularly valuable when applying C++ in resource-constrained embedded environments. With the C++ standard undergoing significant revisions—specifically C++11, with C++14 following shortly—this course covers essential new features such as high-performance memory management, concurrency in multicore environments, and bare-metal, hardware-proximate programming.

GOAL/BENEFITS

The primary objective of this class is to enable you to use C++ in a "correct" manner.

• Introduce C++ as an object-oriented language alternative within the context of embedded systems
• Highlight the similarities and differences between C++ and C
• Understand various memory management strategies, with a focus on the move semantics introduced in C++11
• Explore the underlying mechanisms to understand how different C++ paradigms translate into machine code
• Utilize templates to create type-safe, high-level abstractions for bare-metal, hardware-proximate programming (including memory-mapped I/O and interrupts), particularly leveraging variadic templates introduced in C++11
• Present useful design patterns, especially those applicable in embedded contexts
• Include practical exercises to reinforce key concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS

This training is designed for C++ programmers who wish to begin using C++ in an embedded system context.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

The course requires basic knowledge of C++ programming, equivalent to our "C++ – Level 1" and "C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11" trainings.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

During the training, you will practice the presented concepts through a series of exercises. We will use the open and free integrated development environment provided by Eclipse.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or onsite) is aimed at web developers who wish to functional program with C++

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use functional programming solutions to improve the performance of web applications.
• Avoid data mutation and side effects with functional programming.
• Create web applications in a functional programming style.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use C to apply object-oriented programming techniques and improve software design.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to: implement object-oriented concepts in C, design modular applications, apply encapsulation and abstraction, and structure maintainable codebases.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the object-oriented programming language C++, illustrated through straightforward examples. It begins with the history and evolution of C++, guiding participants to analyze procedural programming techniques, fundamental language constructs, data types, and declarations. By examining core object-oriented concepts such as classes, operator overloading, and templates, learners gain mastery over abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. Through practical work with standard containers, algorithms, and iterators, teams investigate memory management, namespaces, and exception handling. Participants also learn to navigate compiled applications, manage exceptions, and utilize file streams to develop robust, production-ready C++ solutions.

This instructor-led live training in Italy (online or onsite) is designed for web designers who wish to build dynamic, cross-platform UIs using Qt Quick and QML.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design prototypes for application UIs using QML.
• Create and implement an application's UI elements using QML.
• Implement animations, transforms, and transitions to create a more responsive experience for users of the application.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy covers the fundamentals of game development with Unreal Engine 4 while giving participants the chance to create their own sample game.
