Safe and Efficient C++ for Embedded Environments

Available to book as a 1 day online workshop on the following dates

Tuesday 12th May 09:00 - 17:00 UTC

Suitable for:

Beginner

Intermediate

Embedded / Low-Level

This course will enhance your embedded systems skills using modern C++ up to C++23. By practical examples, you will learn how to write code that is safer, more robust, and more efficient. You will see patterns to replace the POSIX length value API.

We'll start with the basics and gradually move on to more advanced topics, all designed to make your code stronger and more efficient.

Many embedded systems operate without a heap. We explore standard compliant and undefined behavior-free ways to deal with custom allocators. You’ll see firsthand how unique_ptr, from the Standard Library (STL), can be a game changer even in memory-constrained environments.

By the end of this course, you'll not only be well-versed in the latest C++ features tailored for embedded systems but you'll also be equipped to write type-safe code that effectively avoids common pitfalls such as out-of-bounds access. Improve your code's readability and maintain efficiency, all while mastering the art of embedded programming with confidence.

Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of C++11.
