Beginning C++ (6 Mar 2019) (1.07 MVB)

This workshop will introduce programming with modern C++.

Modern C++ is an extremely powerful and expressive compiled programming language. This workshop will provide an accelerated introduction to C++ 2014, showing you how you can write your first C++ programs using modern functional and object orientated C++ programming constructs.

C++ is the tool of choice when Python is no longer quick enough, and there are no good libraries available to help you optimise your code.

This course is suitable for anyone who has an understanding of modern object orientated or functional programming languages, and will assume that you are already familiar with the material presented in the "Beginning Python" and "Intermediate Python" courses.

Prerequisites: Note that this workshop will assume that you are already familiar with object orientated programming. If you only have experience of C or Fortran, then you are strongly recommended to complete "Beginning Python" and "Intermediate Python" before attending this workshop.

LOCATION: 1.07 (PC lab) Merchant Venturers Building, Woodland Rd, BS8 1UB
