Course Overview
The tech industry faces growing pressure to adopt memory safe practices to reduce cybersecurity risks. While rewriting legacy C code in a newer language like Rust is one option, it is often costly, risky, and offers little functional gain. It becomes a major investment and time sink just to stand still.
This course offers a practical alternative. You’ll learn clear, effective techniques to improve memory safety and reliability within your existing C codebase, without large scale changes or abandoning proven systems.
In modern development, security, stability and performance are critical. This hands-on course gives developers, team leads and test engineers the tools to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen code safely and efficiently. It also covers undefined behaviour (UB), a major contributor to memory issues, and presents solutions that apply to both C and modern C++.
A blend of live coding, real world examples, and practical exercises keeps the course engaging while giving you practical strategies to improve real-world systems.
