Infinite Skills' "C++ Memory Management Tutorial" Teaches Best Practices in Programming with Popular Language
(PRWEB) October 22, 2013 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. last week released its "C++ Memory Management Tutorial," an advanced-level course teaching experienced programmers how to avoid common pitfalls in writing code, which can lead to catastrophic issues in memory management.
C++ is one of the most popular programming language and is used in a wide variety of hardware and operating systems platforms. The biggest complaint about C++, according to course author Brook Monroe, is that it leaks and it doesn't protect programmers from the consequences of even trivial mistakes in coding.
In Infinite Skills' C++ Memory Management Tutorial, users will learn which types of common errors are likely to effect memory management and how to avoid them.

Monroe is currently a software architect and consultant for NCR Corporation, a travel solutions professional service group, where he specializes in airline self-service check-in software. Monroe started programming at age 15 and is proficient in several programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, C, and C++.
After a brief introduction to the course, Monroe explains what goes wrong in these common errors with C++, looking at how leaks and overruns result from even the smallest errors in coding.
The next chapter explores how to work with STL Vector methods, range checking, and sentinels, to avoid overruns, before moving on to explore memory leaks and how to properly clean up your code to avoid them.
From there, the Monroe offers some additional pointers and best practices in relation to memory, explaining, for instance, why its a bad idea to reuse released memory, among other common problems.
Other chapters include a lesson on trust and verification, reading and writing shared assets, identifying additional bad coding practices, and using "old school" coding rules in order to assure stable results.
"This course is designed for programmers who have written in Java, C#, Javascript, or other C-drive languages that use garbage collection," Monroe explains. "By the end of the course you should be able to write working C++ code absent any consequential mistakes in memory management."
