Please note that Paul Kunz will be giving his very popular and highly recommended C++ course again on 24-28 November. The course is organised by the CERN Education Services, it costs 200 CHF, and advance registration is required. Here is a description of the course. C++ for Particle Physicists The course was developed for the BaBar collaboration and is designed for a target audience of particle physicists who are active in programming simulation, reconstruction, and/or analysis code. - Prerequisites The only prerequiest is experience in computer programming. In particular, no prior knowledge of the C language is needed. Programming experience entirely in Fortran is adequate. - Format The course consists of six lectures of about 1.5 hours each. However, it would be prudent to reserve a two hour time slot for each lecture. Some of the sessions will run over by 10-15 minutes if there are lots of questions during the lecture. A late afternoon informal discussion session will also be scheduled. Note that there will be two lectures on the first day. - Transparencies PostScript versions of the transparencies, printed two-up, are available from ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/users/pfkeb/c++class/session0n.ps.Z or via AFS /afs/slac.stanford.edu/public/users/pfkeb/c++class/session0n.ps.Z where `n' is 1-6. There are 188 transparences all together. Note that an older version of the transparencies are available via the BaBar Web pages. These correspond to the first version of the course and the BaBar video tapes, but no longer correspond to the current version. - Content The course starts with the very basics and ends with sosphicated example of tracking code. The content of each lecture is roughly the following... o session 1: basic declarations, conditional structure, operators. o session 2: pointers and functions. o session 3: introduction to classes including operator overloading using 3-Vector from CLHEP as example. o session 4; more on classes with arrays and lists and including templates. o session 5: introduction to inheritance and complete physics analysis. o session 6: more on inheritance with polymorphic classes from Gismo. - Text book. The choosen text book is John J. Barton and Lee R. Nackman Scientific and Engineering C++ Addison-Wesley IBSN: 0-201-53393-6 The book is available for 50 SFr from the CERN COmputing Books Selling Service (see their catalogue and details of how to purchase at http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/uco/cobs/). About half the lectures follow examples from the text book, the other half uses examples of code written by particle physicists. - The World Wide Web pages for the text book are at http://www.research.ibm.com/ xw-SoftwareTechnology-books-SciEng-AboutSciEng.html - This course is not a "hands-on" style course. Only one practical exercise is suggested in the lectures. The students are expected to take their own intiatives in getting started. - by the end of the course, one should be able to read, in principle, any C++ code written for HEP. -- ################################################################## # E-mail: Julius.Hrivnac@cern.ch # # WWW: http://www-hep.fzu.cz/~hrivnac/ # # S-mail: PPE Division; 40-3D-11; CERN; 1211 Geneve; Switzerland # # voice: (022)-767-3170 # ##################################################################
