C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language supporting procedural, object-oriented, generic and functional programming styles. This course will provide a practical introduction to the current standard of the language, C++14. The changes expected in the upcoming standard of the language, C++17, will be
briefly summarized.
Through a number of simple but instructive exercises, the participants will learn the C++ syntax and familiarise themselves with C++ abstraction mechanisms such as classes and class hierarchies, and templates. The Standard Template Library for C++14 will be introduced in sufficient detail to be useful.
This course assumes that the participants have previous programming experience in languages such as C, Python, Java and Fortran, and will introduce the current standard of C++. It is not meant to be a beginners' introduction to programming.
