    C++ is an object-oriented successor to the programming language C and has become one of the most common programming languages used today. It sees widespread commercial use in video games, web services, robotics, and many other areas. In physics research, it is commonly used in simulation software packages like GEANT4, or analysis packages like CERN ROOT.

    In this talk, it is assumed that...

    Managing a project is fun when it's just you. Once two or more people all need to collaborate on a project - a software package, a paper, a poster - it's very easy to begin stepping on each other's toes as you pursue ideas separately and together. Git is a collaborative project management system, designed for software developers, that allows for asynchronous collaborative development. In this...

    A tutorial on programming with ROOT!

    ROOT is a c/c++ environment developed at CERN to provide tools for manipulating, analysing and displaying high energy physics data. It includes a lot of advanced systems.
    This will be an introduction to basic routines to simulate some data, process it and display useful graphs. There will be a short presentation, followed by tutorial exercises. It will...
