Day 1: Version Control with Git and Procedural C++

Introduction A short overview of the course aims, content and links to useful resources
Demystifying Git & Version control with Git We begin by looking at how to keep track of changes to your work using a version control system (PDF Document), including a walkthrough exercise using git for basic version control and interacting with a remote repository
Introducing C++ The second part of the day introduces C++. We look at the basic structure and syntax of a program in C++ and begin to implement a very basic program and compile it into an executable
Program flow control in C++ The next C++ topic is how to control the flow of our mpags-cipher program with conditionals and loops
Vectors The next C++ topic is to introduce the concept of containers, specifically the std::vector
Command-line arguments Finally we examine how to feed information into our mpags-cipher program using command-line arguments
