This course is designed for learners who have a foundational understanding of C++ and are ready to dive into more advanced topics to enhance their programming skills. It covers complex features of the C++ language, including memory management, advanced object-oriented programming, templates, the Standard Template Library (STL), multi-threading, and modern C++ features from C++11 to C++20. Through practical coding exercises, real-world examples, and project-based learning, students will gain a deeper understanding of efficient, scalable, and maintainable C++ software development.
Topics Covered:
- Advanced pointers, dynamic memory, and smart pointers (unique_ptr, shared_ptr)
- Deep dive into classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and virtual functions
- Templates (function and class templates, variadic templates)
- The Standard Template Library (STL): vectors, maps, sets, iterators, algorithms
- Exception handling and best practices
- Operator overloading and friend functions
- Lambda expressions and functional programming in C++
- Move semantics, rvalue references, and copy elision
- Multi-threading and concurrency (std::thread, mutex, futures)
- Modern C++ features: auto, nullptr, constexpr, range-based for loops, structured bindings, etc.
- Introduction to CMake and organizing larger C++ projects
