General course information
Paulo Gouveia - EID
Course - C/C++ Secure Coding
Enjoyed the flexibility and variety of topics, the combination of trainings and exercises meant that I could apply what I'd learnt straight away. I also enjoyed the projects on the last day to bring everything together.
Luca Ricagni - Rockwell Collins UK Limited
Course - Advanced C++
I liked being submerged into the C++ language for 5 days - not interrupted by regular work - in a row a lot ... Personally not as experienced in C++ as my colleagues, I decided to join this course to take a deep dive. The dive triggered me hugely to learn more ... which is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I appreciated the expertise knowledge of the trainer - and that of my colleagues. The fact that topics were very quickly touched and not addressed in detail, is what I expect from an advanced course. Sometimes too quick for me to follow (but that's a known and accepted drawback from my joining this course :-)) ... but on the other hand provided me with a fairly complete overview of the subtleties of the language. Thanks a lot for presenting a course in this way! Most appreciated!!!
Jan Grauwen - Septentrio N.V.
Course - Advanced C++ Software Design
Interactivity, time for self-contained programming. I learn easier if I have the chance to find out the answer and not just telling me it. It was also a very good thing that the training was well-planned, we kept coffee pauses and the training did not lose my attention. The trainer had very deep knowledge in C++, we felt we could ask anything.
Barna Szécsi - GIS Europe SE
Course - C++ for Embedded Systems
The trainer was very well versed in the subject matter being discussed, he impressed all of us with his knowledge and ability. I believe some of the examples may not have been planned (they were based on questions asked). However, you would never tell, as they were presented as if fully planned. The pace was good, there was plenty of time for questions, and the Trainer did really well in terms of interacting with those being trained.
