Objectives 


Students successfully completed this subject will be
able to: to write straightforward code in C/C++; use a modern development
environment and set up a Project structure, understand the nature of Object
Orientation and be able to define and use classes and objects in C++,
understand that modern software development is increasing oriented towards
integration of subsystems, rather than dependent only on one-off custom-built
code.
