Control Memory.
Control Software.
Master stack vs heap allocation, pointers, references, and object lifecycles. Write safer, more efficient, and more predictable code.
The Hidden Costs of Poor Memory Management
Memory bugs are among the most dangerous and difficult to debug issues in software development. They can lurk undetected for years before causing catastrophic failures.
Memory Leaks
Unreleased memory accumulates over time, causing performance degradation and eventual crashes.
Dangling Pointers
References to freed memory lead to unpredictable behavior and security vulnerabilities.
Fragmentation
Inefficient allocation patterns waste memory and slow down your applications.
Undefined Behavior
Memory corruption causes bugs that are nearly impossible to reproduce and debug.
What You'll Learn
A comprehensive curriculum covering everything from basic memory concepts to advanced optimization techniques used in production systems.
Stack vs Heap
Understand when and why to use each allocation strategy for optimal performance.
Pointers & References
Master pointer arithmetic, dereferencing, and safe reference patterns.
Object Lifecycles
Learn construction, destruction, and RAII patterns for resource management.
Allocation Strategies
Explore custom allocators, memory pools, and arena allocation techniques.
Ownership Models
Understand unique, shared, and borrowed ownership for memory safety.
Debugging Memory
Use profilers, sanitizers, and debuggers to find and fix memory issues.
From Theory to Practice
We don't just explain concepts—we show you exactly how memory works through interactive examples and real debugging sessions.
// Memory leak - buffer never freed
char* buffer = malloc(1024);
process_data(buffer);
// Function returns without free()
return result;// RAII pattern - automatic cleanup
std::unique_ptr<char[]> buffer(
new char[1024]);
process_data(buffer.get());
// Memory freed automatically!
return result;Real Code Examples
Every concept demonstrated with production-quality code you can use immediately.
Interactive Debugging
Step through memory issues in real-time using industry-standard tools.
Memory Profiling
Learn to use Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, and other profiling tools effectively.

Who This Course Is For
Whether you're just starting with low-level programming or looking to deepen your expertise, this course will transform how you think about memory.
C / C++ Developers
Working with manual memory management and need to write safer, more efficient code.
Rust Developers
Want to understand the memory concepts behind Rust's ownership and borrowing system.
Systems Programmers
Building operating systems, embedded software, or performance-critical applications.

Optimizing server performance and debugging memory-related production issues.
int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int));
*ptr = 42; // Memory allocated on heap
int stack_var = 10; // Stored on stack - auto cleanup
free(ptr); // Prevent memory leak!
