Carbon Programming

In the course Carbon Programming from SpiralTrain participants learn to develop software in the next generation programming language Carbon.

Intro Carbon Language

The course Carbon Programming starts with an introduction into the Carbon programming language covering its goals and design principles. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of Carbon as potential C++ successor and its associated modern tooling.

Variables and Data Types

Next attention is paid to variables and data types in Carbon, including primitive types, compound types, and type inference. Participants will learn how to declare, initialize, and manipulate variables of different data types in Carbon and will also learn about packages in Carbon.

Control Flow and Functions

Then control flow structures such as conditionals and loops are covered as well as functions and their parameters. Participants will learn how to write modular and reusable code using functions and control the flow of execution in Carbon programs.

Data Structures

Also data structures like arrays, lists, maps and sets in Carbon, along with their operations and usage are discussed. The handling of null values, pointers and generics are also on the program of the course Carbon programming.

Classes and Objects

Next object oriented programming concepts in Carbon including classes, objects, inheritance, virtual functions and polymorphism are treated. Participants will learn how to define and use classes to model real-world entities and create object instances in Carbon.

Memory Safety

Finally memory safety features in Carbon to prevent common programming errors such as memory leaks and buffer overflows, are explained. Carbon's memory management techniques and best practices for writing safe and secure code are covered.

Audience Course Carbon Programming

The course Carbon Programming is intended for developers who want to learn about the possibilities of the Carbon programming language.

Prerequisites course Carbon Programming

To participate in this course, knowledge of a programming language such as C++, Rust, Java or C# is desirable.

Realization Training Carbon Programming

The course is a combination of theory and practice. The theory is discussed using slides and demos and is followed by practical exercises.

Course Certificate Carbon Programming

After successfully completing the course, attendants receive a certificate of participation in Carbon Programming.
