Agenda:

1. Introduction - who we are
2. Course code repository
3. Platform:
   • Linux and Windows Tool Chains
4. Modern Languages: C, C++, Go, Java and C#, and Javascript
5. Similarities and differences between C and C++
   • The What - an inventory of parts
   • The How - safe and effective use
   • Similarity is not Equvalence
   • Compilation and Environment Models
   • Types - value types and reference types
   • std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr
   • Unique role of C++ references
   • Structs vs. Classes
   • Namespaces
   • Functions - overloading, pass and return by value and reference
   • Scope - compile-time and run-time
   • Classes and class relationships
   • Compiler Libraries
   • Why C++
6. Package layout
7. Anatomy of a C++ class - Dive into declaration and definition details
   This will explore most class specific syntax and semantics with an example
8. Syntax and Semantics of Inheritance:
   • Interfaces
   • Abstract classes
   • Inheritance hierarchies
9. Compound objects
   Construction of compound objects is surprisingly flexible and subtle. We will explore this with an annotated example that illustrates all of the things you need to know about initialization.
10. Plugins
    Plugins Implement one or more interfaces declared by the plugin host, provide object factories for the host to start the plugin, and may expect the host to sink plugin events. The are implemented as shared libraries so the host can load them at run time.
11. Linux System calls
    Many of the Linux System calls are wrapped by the C/C++ libraries. We will take a quick look at some interesting calls and some sample code.
12. Overflow Topics:
    • FileSystem Library for Windows and Linux
    • Streams
    • Templates
    • Threads and Sychronization
    • Lambdas
    • Callable Objects
