Advanced C++ Programming Course

About this course

The Advanced C++ Programming course examines the more sophisticated features and language mechanisms defined by the ISO C++ standards.

The emphasis is on writing robust, maintainable, and portable C++ code, with particular attention to object lifetime, resource management, advanced type interactions, and complex program behaviour.

Delegate feedback

Feedback from delegates who have attended this course:


Renier makes learning C++ fun and ensures the learners understand the basic principles.

L. Mbatha

Verifone Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
The training was good. It helped that I could ask questions. I appreciated that the code that was shown to us as part of the examples were always compiled, since that shows that it actually works then. Also all the code in the notes and on the whiteboard are appreciated.

C. Wagner

Etion Create Lecturer: Renier Virtual Training
Material of the course was very challenging. But lecturer has a good ability to detect the level of understanding of the audience. It was a very intense and instructive week. I am very very very satisfied!!!

J. Dass

Concurrent Systems Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Amazed by the expertise and knowledge settled in one human being – indeed a walking library.

R. Broodryk

Denel Dynamics Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Definitely will recommend this course to friends and colleagues.

S. Maharaj

Denel Dynamics Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
I may strongly say that this course has been very helpful for me as it has shown me a lot of things I didn’t know about C++.

C. Nxumalo

Northpark Telecomms Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Very good course! Thank you.

P. Coetzee

Q Link Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Excellent course, providing insight into the inner working of C++, which most learning material & sources don’t provide. Will recommend the course to others.

T. Pillay

CSIR Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
I am impressed with the material & speed of the course, however a lot of new concepts for me as a programmer & will have to work through the notes again to gain a better picture. Thanks.

Intended Audience

This course is useful if:
  • You develop or maintain software written in C++.
  • You work with complex C++ code and want deeper control over language behaviour.
  • You use C++ and want a more structured understanding of advanced language features.
  • You develop or support embedded systems using C++.

Prerequisites

Delegates should have knowledge equivalent to the Standard C++ Programming course.

Familiarity with classes, constructors, references, and basic object-oriented programming is expected.
