Description
This course is an intensive version of CS106B for students with a strong programming background interested in a rigorous treatment of the topics at an accelerated pace. It includes additional advanced material and more challenging projects.
CS106X teaches advanced programming and abstraction techniques, worrying first about C++ language mechanics and eventually focusing on topics such as recursion, C++ lists and maps, and the implementation techniques used to build complicated, dynamic data structures.
