Lonestar5 maintenance is still in progress. We have finished the larger systems and network updates and are currently submitting acceptance jobs with the HPC group. We will provide further updates as we get closer to production status. Thank you for your patience.

The Lonestar5 maintenance is continuing for longer than anticipated. System administrators are still working to bring up and customize the upgraded operating system, networks, and file systems. With the substantial progress made so far we have forgone our option to revert. Please be on the lookout for new announcements as we approach production status. We appreciate your patience in this substantial undertaking.

C++ can be considered as a superset of C, but this view often leads to un-idiomatic C++ programming. In this short course, we both show the new mechanisms of C++, and we explain what C mechanisms, while available, should no longer be used.
The first half of this course covers mostly object-oriented programming and parameter passing with references; the second half covers advanced topics such as smart pointers, exceptions, iterators, lambdas, templates.
This course will be offered to in-person and webcast attendees. Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. Students are expected to be familiar with C syntax and should bring a laptop for lab exercises.
