The objective of this course is to give a good knowledge of C and C++, as well as a working practice of Linux, and to prepare to future courses in the Computer Science curriculum. Through lectures and small programming projects, it covers topics such as how to build a program on Linux, what are the major differences between a language such as C and Object oriented languages such as Java (and C++), how Object oriented Programming in C++ differs from Object oriented Programming in Java, pointers and memory management, data structures in C and C++, as well as system calls. The first half of the course will solely be devoted to mastering C, and the second half will present C++ and the efforts to build a “better C”, as well as how to interact with the operating system through "system calls".
