Lecturers: M. Sc. Pascal Hirsch, M. Sc. Annika Engel

General Information
In this course we will teach programming in C++. This course is not intended to serve as an introduction for general programming. We expect that the Bioinformatics Master students taking this course are already proficient in programming.
Since this course is intended for Bioinformatics Master students, these students will be prioritized in case we have too many participants.
Credit Points
This course is credited with 5CP for Bioinformatics (master) students.
Computer Science students can get either 5CP or 6CP (if they decide to do some extra work, like an additional assignment, short seminar, or small project).
