C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language supporting procedural, object-oriented, generic and functional programming styles. In this course, the current standard of the language, C++11, will be introduced to participants familiar with C. Minor changes in the revision C++14 will be also be introduced.
The course will run from 13-20 April 2015. The first three days will introduce the C++ (C++11) syntax. Through a number of simple but instructive exercises, the participants will learn the C++ syntax and familiarise themselves with elements of object oriented, generic and functional programming. The Standard Template Library for C++11 will be introduced in sufficient detail to be useful.
The second half will be about graphics, Boost libraries and multicore
performance. Brief introductions will be given to :
- graphical user interfaces using Qt5.
- Boost C++ libraries
- Intel (R) Threading Building Blocks
This course is designed for participants with previous programming experience, and introduces the current standard of C++. It cannot serve as a beginners' introduction to programming.
