Top 20 "Pain Points" for Data Analysts

Problem 11 : You have a very complex Excel spreadsheet and you want to reproduce EXACTLY the same spreadsheet in Power BI
Solution: Power BI is not Excel, it works differently and it has different strengths. In order to tackle this issue the best way is going back to the source and try to...

More about this course

Our C++ training course will introduce you to a key programming language used across a wide range of industries for many application types. Noted for its performance, it can be used for embedded application, server side process as well as GUI applications.

Recent changes to the language in new standards have improved the languages safety and performance further. New and improved C++ Library features have improved functionality and helped reduce development effort.

The JBI approach is to move quickly from the basics of the language to features which allow safer usage of pointers, namely, smart pointer. Various alternative styles of programming are possible with C++, such as, object oriented, generic and functional.

We show how C++ allows these different styles of programming.
