Description

This training will allow you to assimilate the new features introduced by the C11 ISO/IEC 9899:2011 standard. You will discover multithreading management, generic function selection as well as many other functions from the standard library offering safe operating interfaces.

Who is this training for ?

For whom ?

C developers wishing to know the new features defined by the C11 standard.

Prerequisites

Good knowledge of the C language. Practical programming experience with this language is strongly recommended.

Training objectives
