Course Overview

Object-oriented programming concepts, such as inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation, can be challenging for C programmers who are used to a more procedural programming style. Therefore, this course is designed specifically for embedded software developers who already have experience with the C programming language and want to learn C++.

The focus of the course will be on applying C++ to the development of embedded systems. We will cover topics such as basic classes, objects, constructors, inheritance, and polymorphism. In addition, attendees will learn how to design object-based applications using UML class diagrams and relate them to C++ code implementation.

Essential Topics Covered

  • Introduction to C++ for Embedded Software Development
  • Basics of Classes and Objects, Constructors and Destructors
  • Inheritance and Polymorphism
  • UML Class Diagrams for Object-Oriented Design
  • Templates and Static Polymorphism

Ready to transition from C to C++ for your embedded projects? This hands-on workshop will get you there.
