SISSA webpage

Provide advanced knowledge of both theoretical and practical programming in C++ and Python, with particular regard to the principles of object oriented programming and best practices of software development (advanced use of version control systems, continuous integration, unit testing).

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with linux terminal and a text editor (e.g., emacs, vim)
  • A bit of knowledge of git is helpful

Locations

Lecture room is A-005 in the main SISSA building in via Bonomea 265. On 12/10 and 19/10 the lecture will at the Big meeting room (VII floor).

Syllabus

  1. Scientific programming environment. You will learn the basic ingredients needed to efficiently develop scientific software in *nix environment.

  2. Introduction to C++. You will learn the logic and the basics of C++, the built-in data types and how to effectively use them. Best practices in programming will be addressed.

  3. Object orientation in C++. The principles of Object-Oriented programming will be presented with particular attention to their implementations in C++. Some of the most important Design Patterns will be discussed.

  4. Advanced features of C++11/14/17. Some of the new features of standard C++11/14/17 will be introduced and explained.

  5. Object-Oriented programming in Python. After a recap of the basics of Python, you will learn how to program in object-oriented fashion in the Python programming language.
