The block course provides a short but extensive introduction to the programming language C++. It is aimed at students that have a solid knowledge of Java, Python, or another imperative programming language. C++ is used in many research groups in the "Institut für Neuroinformatik" (Institute for Neural Computation).

  - basics of imerative programming in C / C++
  - basic language constructs
    - arrays, pointer arithmetic, references, dynamic memory management
    - basic classes in C++: string, vector
  - classes and object orientation in C++
    - const-correctness
  - inheritance, polymorphism
    - further class concepts: static member, rule of three (five)
  - templates
    - metaprogramming
  - standard library
  - miscellaneous (mostly C++14 / C++17)
     - move semantics, exceptions, auto-declare, initializer syntax, casting, enumerations
  - multi-threading (later than C++11)
     - also smart pointers
