(LRZ) --- Advanced C++ with Focus on Software Engineering Tuesday, October 23 - Thursday, October 25, 2018, 9:00 - 17:00 https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-10-23_hcpa1w18/ Topics: This advanced C++ training is a course on object-oriented (OO) software design with the C++ programming language. The focus of the training are the essential OO and C++ software development principles, concepts, idioms, and best practices, which enable programmers to create professional, high-quality code. The course will not address special areas and applications of C++, such as for instance Template Meta Programming (TMP), or the quirks and curiosities of the C++ language. It rather teaches guidelines to develop mature, robust, and maintainable C++ code Teacher: Klaus Iglberger (External) Further upcoming courses at LRZ: Introduction to the LRZ Supercomputing & Machine Learning Infrastructure<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-10-08_hsmi1w18/> Monday, October 08, 2018, 9:00-18:00 Using Python at LRZ<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-10-09_hupl1w18/> Tuesday, October 09, 2018, 14:00-18:00 Using R at LRZ<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-10-09_hurl1w18/> Tuesday, October 09, 2018, 9:00-13:00 Workshop - HPC mit COMSOL Multiphysics am LRZ<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-11-15_hcom1w18/> Thursday, November 15, 2018, 9:30 - 16:00 Machine Learning with R at LRZ<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2018-11-27_hmlr1w18/> Tuesday, November 27, 2018, 9:00 - 18:00 Programming with Fortran<https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2019-03-06_hfor1w18/> Wednesday, March 06 - Friday, March 08, 2019, 9:00-18:00 Please also pass this course announcement to other interested colleagues.
