Should computer science and software engineering majors learn C++ at the university? Should it be taught as a first language? Where else does it belong in the curriculum? How does one teach best practices to undergraduates? What should graduates know about C++ by the time they leave school?

Come join experienced professors Chuck Allison, Andrew Lumsdaine, Patrice Roy, and Bjarne Stroustrup as they share their insights and perspectives on teaching C++ in academia. They will discuss the forces that shape what is appropriate for teaching C++ at the university level, what the challenges are, and what has worked for them over the years. Come prepared with questions and answers for this Open Content session.

See you Tuesday night!
