Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
Students are able to exploit C++ for creating middle-sized applications based on the object-oriented approach and generic programming concepts.
Learning objectives
The goal is to introduce students to object-oriented programming in C++ language and to generic programming using templates.
Why is the course taught
At least basic knowledge of C++ language is important not only for programming practice, but also for improving your understanding of the area of programming languages and paradigms.
