** Separate registration is required for CppCon Academy Classes. **Class PageC++ developers confront daunting responsibilities: to be familiar with the guarantees and idioms for the C++ language; know data structures and algorithms with intrinsic benefits and constraints explored by Computer Science; and understand the application domain in which the practicing professional is expected to make implementation decisions that manage complexity and resolve edge-cases to effectively solve real-world problems.
And yet, none of these directly address the meta-patterns and system-wide concerns defined by “architecture”, nor the reasoned tradeoffs of “design” that divide responsibilities and ultimately define subsystems and APIs. Often, these higher-order concerns are relegated to senior and experienced engineers charged with balancing business constraints with technical tradeoffs to establish a Theory of Operation for individual systems, and for product families.
This course is intended for intermediate and advanced C++ engineers with experience making architectural and design decisions, or who are evolving into roles that demand proficiency in system-level analysis and decision making. We will focus on Modern C++ and deeply explore successes and failures in projects and systems from a variety of industries. And, we will discover that some crossroads are universal, despite the unique concerns that may present pragmatic challenges and cause technical implications to be ranked differently based on the specific domain to which the solution is applied.
