A Washout course “If you can get into the science/engineering parts of a university, you can handle this course” A course in The C++ programming language For students who want to become language lawyers We try not to get bogged down in technical obscurities who are assumed to be a bit dim and fairly lazy We try not to spoon feed Using Some untested software development methodologies and a lot of unnecessarily long words Stroustrup/Programming/2015 The Aims Teach/learn Fundamental programming concepts Key useful techniques Basic Standard C++ facilities After the course, you’ll be able to Write small colloquial C++ programs Read much larger programs Learn the basics of many other languages by yourself Proceed with an “advanced” C++ programming course After the course, you will not (yet) be An expert programmer A C++ language expert An expert user of advanced libraries Stroustrup/Programming/2015 The Means Lectures Attend every one Notes/Chapters Read a chapter ahead (about one per lecture) Read the chapter again after each lecture Feedback is welcome .
