Description:

This course provides further information on programming in C++ beyond what was covered in CIS 1.5. It also deal with basic knowledge of the Unix operating system.

We will cover Unix fundamentals, classes, specification and testing, pointers and arrays, object-oriented programming, recursion and templates.

The course is one of a number of "flavored" offerings of this material, with the flavor being provided by the context (meaning the kind of examples and homework exercises). This particular section will have a flavor of biomedical and biologically-inspired computing. Thus our context will include topics like genome sequence analysis, electronic patient records and artificial life.

You can find more detail on what we will cover on the syllabus page.

Finally, here are some hints for how to succeed in CIS 1.5.
