Systems Programming in C++
Information
Content
- Gain in-depth knowledge on modern C++ programming techniques and the C++ ecosystem
- Learn to write good C++
- Learn to implement large systems with C++
- Learn to write high-performance code with C++
Prerequisites
We do not expect that you have any previous programming experience with either C or C++, but you should be familiar with a general-purpose programming language of your choice. Furthermore, you should be familiar with common algorithms and data structures, as well as computer architecture and operating systems. This is roughly equivalent to having attended the following lectures.- Introduction to Informatics 1 (IN0001)
- Fundamentals of Programming (IN0002)
- Fundamentals of Algorithms and Data Structures (IN0007)
- Introduction to Computer Architecture (IN0004)
- Basic Principles: Operating Systems and System Software (IN0009)
- Operating Systems and Hardware oriented Programming for Games (IN0034)
Organization
- Kickoff meeting: Thursday, 03.02.2022 at 10:00h online on BigBlueButton
- Register for the course through the matching platform
- Lecture: Tuesdays, 12:00h-14:00h in 02.11.018
- Tutorial: Fridays, 10:00h-12:00h in 02.11.018
- First lecture: Tuesday, 26.04.2022
- Attendance is mandatory in both lectures and tutorials
- The practical course will be held in English
Grading
- Regular short written quizzes
- Weekly programming assignments during the semester
- Larger final project at the end of the semester
- Assignments and final project must be solved individually (no teamwork)
