Course description
The purpose of this course is to provide a deep understanding of the
C++ programming language and its standard library. Advanced
programming techniques such as static polymorphism, policy classes,
metaprogramming, and expression templates are described, and it is
shown how these techniques are used in modern library development.
Most part of the examples come from libraries being developed at DIKU,
but other libraries will be considered as well.
Warning: This is a work-intensive
course!

Prerequisites
- Students should have basic C++ experience
Study credit
To get the credit:
- Each student must pass at least two of the four assignments. To pass an assignment students must
- hand in max. 4 pages
- PDF file using the CPH STL LaTeX style
- before the given deadlines.
- Each student must give at least one oral presentation
- 15 minutes
- hand in 5-10 slides
- PDF file using, for example, the CPH STL LaTeX style.
- Each student must hand in a mini-project report
- maximum of 12 pages (excluding the appendix)
- PDF file using the CPH STL LaTeX style.
- Each student must take the oral exam.
Handing in is done by uploading PDF files on the ISIS course
homepage, or by committing the associated files to the CPH STL
CVS repository. Reviews, mini-projects, and
and presentations can be done in groups of at most three people.
Grades
Grades will be given according to grade points
achieved by each students. It is possible to obtain grade points as follows:
- assignments: 20-40 points
- presentation: 10 points
- mini-project report: 0-20 points
- oral examination: 0-30 points.
Grade points are converted into grades according to the
following table:
|
Grade points | Grade |
| 0-49 points | F, Fx |
| 50-59 points | E |
| 60-69 points | D |
| 70-79 points | C |
| 80-89 points | B |
| 90-100 points | A |
