Course Objectives C++ is currently the most widely used programming language in industry, thanks to its flexible design, scalability and efficiency. The objective of this course is to improve on the students C++ knowledge and programming skills by introducing them to the cutting edge practices in C++ language, including Standard Template Library (STL), template programming techniques, generic programming, and selected Boost C++ Libraries. Topics include programming with templates, advanced template programming techniques, template specializations, traits, overview of GUI programming in C++, overview of Standard Template Library, STL containers, STL iterators, standard algorithms, and some selected Boost C++ libraries
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to know how to use the advanced templates in C through class templates, traits classes and policy classes
  • Students will be able to know the concept of generic programming
  • Students will be able to create library software
  • Students will be able to know how to use a GUI Programming Framework
  • Students will be able to know how to use the Standard Template Library
  • Students will be able to know how to use the Boost C Libraries
Course Description This course covers the principals behind the templates and generic programming, and introduces students to the state of the art generic libraries.
