What this is not: The C++ MiniLab is not part of any course, and is not related to the exam of any course.
It is not, by any means, mandatory.
What this is: The C++ MiniLab is an occasion given to the students to learn C++, by coding, as an example, the 3D math concepts that are used in courses such as 3DVG, Computer Graphics, and others. The C++ language is not a subject of any of these courses, or of their exams, but it's one of the de-facto standard languages of 3D graphics and videoGames.
When: Every Monday, 17:30.
Where: Delta Lambda room
How long: Approx 1.0h-1.5h per meeting (ends at 19:00).
Language: English
How to partecipate: Just bring a (fully charged!) laptop, with some IDE installed (e.g. Visual Studio) and a C++ compliler; make sure that you can already compile and exectue a "hello world" program.
