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: At the end of every other lecture of 3DVG, 18:30.
Where: Sigma room
How long: Approx 1h per meeting.
Language: English
How to partecipate: Just bring a 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.
