What you'll learn
Attackers often utilize small and otherwise unnoticed coding mistakes to hack applications. In this course, Modern C++ Secure Coding Practices: Const Correctness, you'll learn how these attacks take place and how you can prevent them from using const correctness. First, you'll take a look at how to properly handle pointers. Next, you'll discover how you can avoid accidentally assigning to variables. Finally, you'll explore strategies which can aid you in being const correct. When you're finished with this course, you'll have a foundational knowledge of const correctness that will help you move forward and write more secure and future-proof code.
