Her Cuma öğrenmek | تعلم كل يوم جمعة | every Friday learn | modern C++20/23 programming

Merhaba أهلا Hello

Do you want to learn C++ but don't know how or have not programmed before ? If your answer is yes, then please join the best community-centric C++ learning session in the african, arab and turkic world with hands-on exercises.

All community events are FREE-of-charge.

OVERVIEW
 

C++ is an important industrial programming language with more than 7 million developers world-wide and powers almost all the software infrastructure (includes finance, trading, games, servers, databases, network engines) all the way to mobile devices and constrained embedded systems.

FREQUENCY
Every Friday (date: 2022-11-04), the session is of 120 minutes.

C++ SESSION OVERVIEW
We take a legacy-free approach to learning C++20/23. We focus on what C++ core language and libraries have to offer today in terms of feature sets and capabilities. g++ and libstdc++ updates will reflect coverage of new topics.

The indicative topics of coverage and the focus during the next 48-sessions

TOPICS

• Writing a Minimal C++ program and then tracing through the code and debug the code all the way to the executable / library.
• Hello C++ module. What it is and viewing it as a unit of deployment.
• Understanding what is a type. Built-in types.
• Variable expressions, constants and values.
• Literals. Character literals and String literals.
• Block structured code. Notions of Scope and Life-time.
• Notion of a Function. Memory model. Scope. Parameters. Return and return type.
• Notion of a asynchronous function. Concurrency lite.
• Expression categories
• User-defined types. Construction. Destruction
• Memory layout models. Stack, Heap. Notion of a resource handle.
• Error handling. error code. static_assert
• User-defined type memory layout under a microscope.
• Working with GNU debugger on a C++ user-defined data type.
• Enumeration. scoped enums
• Expression categories in depth.
• Copy-semantics
• Move-semantics
• Generics. What is generic programming ?
• 'auto' in the game. auto, const auto, auto &
• Expressing an Operation parameterized by Types | Values.
• Writing a Generic function.
• Function template Instantiation and Specialization.
• Function template Overload and Selection rules.
• Functional Composition.
• Concepts as a mechanism to Specify Semantic requirements on constrained-types.

• Know your C++ toolchain (GNU g++, compiler options) and static analysis tooling
• C++ Core Guidelines. How to incorporate in your work
• Using the C++ standard library which is nearly 2/3rd of the ISO C++ standard and provides rich functionality.
