C++ Tutorial: Overview

Before we can do super cool things with code, we first need to understand how to code. This tutorial is aimed at preparing you with a working knowledge of C++ programming so that you can create amazing things with your project.

You will complete this tutorial along with another member of your group. This is a technique called Pair Programming---please read more about it on our Pair and Group Programming page. (Your project will be completed with your whole team!)

Below is a complete list of the topics covered by the tutorial. There will be tasks corresponding to these topics, which the lab staff will sign off on as you complete them.

Don't forget to switch off when pair programming and keep track of who's driving! You can save this log anywhere in your home directory.

Have fun! The project is next. :)
