Attendee preparations for Remote Delivered Training

We send you an email several days before the training course containing:
  • On-line meeting invitation.
  • An hour or so of preparation activities before the first meeting.
  • An optional exercise.

    • Computer and Connectivity Requirements

    You need a computer with a web browser, and high-speed internet access (20 Mbps minimum). You do not need to install special tools or a coding environment. We use a custom version of cyber-dojo.org that lives on our exercise server.

    Prerequisites for courses taught in C

    You will be creating new C functions in the TDD training class. We find that some programmers are rusty on creating new functions. If that is you, please practice creating some new functions. This would include adding a function declarations to header files, and adding definitions to the source files. Here is a reference for C functions. You may also want to brush up on your C scoping rules.

    Prerequisites for courses taught in C++

    If you are new to C++, or a little rusty, please spend some time before class refreshing your C++. Here is a link to a C++ reference. Attendees should be familiar with that material on that page as well as these topics. They are linked toward the bottom of the page.

  • Class member functions
  • Class access modifiers
  • Constructor & destructor
  • Pointers and references to C++ objects

    • There is a lot more to C++ than just those topics, but that is enough to get started.

    Prerequisites for courses taught in mixed C/C++

    For a mixed C/C++ class, C programmers no need to worry about the C++ syntax. Exercises will be done in C. You may see a little C++ depending on course attendees' backgrounds.
