The course will be held online.

Details and instructions have been sent via e-mail to all properly registered participants.

Registration

Limited number of participants!

Registration period: 1st December 2020 to 22nd January 2021.

How to register:

  • Register via e-mail to cplusplus@ini.rub.de, stating your name, student ID number, study program (Studiengang), and semester
  • Applied Computer Science only: If you've received an e-mail confirming your course participation (and only if!), register on FlexNow or directly at your examination office (Prüfungsamt) within the given deadlines.

Please note that contrary to before the course will only take place each winter semester. I.e., there will be no block course in August / September 2021.


Course Description

The block course provides a short but extensive introduction to the programming language C++. It is aimed at students with a solid knowledge of Java, Python, or another imperative programming language.

Course topics include:

  • basics of imperative 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

The course language is German.

Requirements

It is assumed that participants are already familiar with an imperative, possibly object oriented programming language, e.g., Java.

This course is not suited for programming beginners.

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
