This course is designed as a fast-paced introduction to C++ programming language being intended for students with a good degree of hardware awareness and moderate previous programming experience (e.g. Java and Matlab). C++ is a general purpose programming language that supports generic computer programming models. By practical training on Microsoft Visual Studio, which is the common integrated development environment (IDE) popular on Windows operating systems, students are exposed to practical programming problems and their solutions. The students will be given examples written in ANSI/ISO standard C++, and gain transferable knowledge for other programming domains (e.g. programming with third-party libraries).

This course introduces C++ programming and teaches a number of concepts in computer science, of variables, pointers & streams, control structures, vectors, functions, classes, objects and some good coding practices including debugging techniques and avoiding common programming errors.
Essentially, this is a short “hands-on” course, during which the students will attend ten hours of intensive lectures (HOC: 10h), ten hours of practical sessions (WPO: 10h) and will prepare an elaborated individual C++ project (ZELF: 45h).
The outline of this course is given next:
