Inheritance, templates, function overloading - they all fall into the category of polymorphism in programming. My guest Klaus Iglberger and I discuss the different aspects of how this could be done with C++.

Exceptions are essentials, as are error codes. Writes Bjarnes Stroustrup. And so on our 3rd stop through C++ I talk about what you could do when things go wrong. And what you can do to prevent errors - with testing. My guest is, again Klaus Iglberger. The sounds you're hearing are from the excellent https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk BBC sound l…

In the beginnings were...data and data types. Which is where we begin our journey through C++. The language provides for a range of interesting, fundamental, complex and custom types - one of which is a set of pointer types.

This first episode is about introducing C++, where it started, how it evolved. You will hear from 2 practitioners: Klaus Iglberger (C++ coach/trainer) and Marc Hartung (tech lead at Dive in Berlin). Here are a few links for you to follow up on: https://www.stroustrup.com The Home Page of Bjarne Stroustrup who created C++. There are plenty of links …

Welcome to the new podcast from the Advanced Research Computing Centre of the University College London, UK. A companion podcast for courses on Research Computing at UCL. In this first season we'll be presenting the course on Research Computing with C++. And this short teaser explains how it all works. Have fun! Don't be shy - say Hi This podcast i…
