Syllabus

The main goal of this course is to teach you C++. Perhaps you want to learn for a job, for your advisor, to become more marketable when you graduate, or just to know what that language is that everyone seems to be using. In any case, we will try to teach you as much C++ as fast as we can. Because of this, we will expect that you already know the fundamentals of programming.

Topics of this course will include all of the major features of C++. We will have lectures on:

Basic syntax and constructs
Basic Classes and Object Oriented Programming
Derived Classes
Dynamic Memory and the Free Store
Templates
Exceptions
Standard Template Library (STL)

However, real facility with C++ will come from the assignments.
