Effective C++ for C++ Programmers

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

This intensive course, based on material in Meyers' landmark books (Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL), explains how to use C++ effectively. You will learn how to create libraries and programs that are correct, efficient, portable, maintainable, and extensible.

This course follows a format of lecture, question/answer, group design and problem-solving exercises and does not include hands-on programming.

Note: You are required to bring your own laptop.

Developing Secure.Net Web Applications – Lifecycle

In this course, you will thoroughly examine best practices for defensively coding .NET web applications, including XML processing and web services. You will repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully-functional web application. This hands-on approach drives home the mechanics of how to secure .NET web applications in the most practical of terms.

Although this edition of the course is .NET-specific, it may also be presented using Java or other programming languages.

PCI Compliant Developer Training: Version 3.0 of the Payment Card Information Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) have placed an increased emphasis on information security training and awareness. This class can help meet the annual training requirements for your developers and vendors. This secure coding training addresses common coding vulnerabilities in software development processes. This training is used by one of the principle participants in the PCI DSS. Having passed multiple PCI audits, this course has been shown to meet the PCI requirements. The specification of those training requirements are detailed in 6.5.1 through 6.5.10 on pages 55 through 59 of the PCI DSS Requirements 3.0 document dated November 2013.

Core XML Fundamentals

In this course, you will learn the practical use of W3C standards (including XSL and XML Schema) and implementation tools and technologies. This course is programming language independent, making it useful for Java, .NET, C++, and any other programming orientation. You will learn to apply XML to projects at both an architectural as well as a line by line coding level.

You will receive a copy of the ‘Xtensil’ product, this unique software was developed to assist in implementing, testing, and fielding XML applications. Xtensil is used as both a teaching aid and a straightforward, basic, fully functional XML toolkit that you can use on Windows and Linux platforms.

Introduction to Swift 3

In this course, you will acquire the necessary foundation in Swift 3 programming so you can develop applications in Apple’s Cocoa and iOS environments. The course starts with the basics of programming in the Swift 3 language and finishes with the building of simple event-driven applications for Apple desktop and mobile devices. There will also be some brief discussions of the Objective-C programming language, which is still used in parts of the Cocoa and iOS environments. Upon completing this course, you will be ready toï¿½move on to the Cocoa and iOS courses.ï¿½
