Course Objectives

C++ is one of the most used programming languages in the industry thanks to its flexible design, scalability and efficiency. The main purpose of this course is to improve students' C++ knowledge and programming skills and to introduce them to the latest innovations in the C++ language. Some of these innovations are generic programming techniques, especially the Standard Template Library (STL) library, and selected Boost C++ libraries. Topics of this course include programming with templates, advanced template programming techniques, generic programming, using customized templates, type properties, GUI programming with C++, Standard Template Library, STL container, STL iterator, STL algorithms, and selected Boost C++ libraries.
