Introduction to programming with C language

• Olivier Mattelaer (UCLouvain/CISM)

Room: SCES A.04B <p>C is a very performant language on which are build C++ but also Python (and many others). Even if this language is now mainly superseeded by C++, it is important to understand the basic of the language if you want to learn C++ and or Cuda programming (for GPU).</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Basic of C programming</li> <li>pointer concept</li> <li>array</li> <li>memory management</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Prerequisite for:</strong></p> <ul> <li>CUDA programming</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br /> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br /> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who need to develop fast scientific software.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

C++

• Nicolas Potvin (ULB département informatique)

Room: SCES A.04B Introduction to object-oriented programming, classes and templates in C++. Learn useful design patterns that will help you design the architecture of your project. **Content:** - From C to C++ - What is a class ? What is an object ? - Template programming - Inheritance, abstract classes and interfaces - Some more design patterns - Good practices - Some *pointers* to libraries and projects of interest **Prerequisite:** - Being familiar with a text editor - Being familiar with programming (at least beginner level) - Understanding what a compiler is **Target audience:** Rookie programmer

Introduction to Python

• Jérôme de Favereau (UCLouvain/IRMP/CP3)

Room: SCES A.04B <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <p>Python is a programming language that can be used both for scientific computing (as a replacement for Fortran or C/C++) and for everyday scripting (as a replacement for Bash or Perl), but also to develop full programs with a GUI as well as headless services. It is a very nice tool to include in any scientist's toolbox.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Language syntax</li> <li>The core modules</li> <li>Installing external modules</li> <li>Writing and distributing modules</li> </ul> </td> <td> <p><strong>Prerequisite:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Being able to use SSH with private keys&nbsp;</li> <li>Being familiar with a text editor&nbsp;</li> <li>Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.)</li> <li>Notions of programming</li> </ul> <p><strong>Type:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on<br /> <strong>Target audience</strong>: Rookie programmer<br /> <strong>Must:&nbsp;</strong>This session is a nice-to-have for those who do not know Python.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
