This three-day course communicates programming basics, the syntax of C++ and useful data structures. The course combines presentations along with day-by-day practical exercises (1/4th lectures, 3/4 excercises). The topics include (this may vary according to the needs or preferences of the participants):
From machine code to programming language and back - the basics of programming. Bring your own device if you can, we will setup your individual developement environment together. Linux/Windows/MacOS/Android - everyone is welcome, the goal is to continue using C++ after the course.
Minimal structure and syntax of C++ .You'll write simple programs using input/output and the fundamental datatypes.
Important structural elements: Functions, loops and conditionals. Make programs using loops, functions, recursion, find prime numbers, compute fibonacci numbers, etc.
