Welcome to the 2025 PURSUE C++ Training Module!#
This page hosts the lecture notes used for the PURSUE C++ tutorial session. The material assumes that students have had some prior exposure to Python. Using this baseline knowledge as a foundation, we introduce basic concepts of C++. Later, we highlight and study the differences between Python and C++ and at the very end, we analyze an example of how C++ is used in high-energy physics.
This material is neither an exhaustive coverage of important topics and concepts in C++, nor is it intended to be digested all at once. Students are encouraged to revisit this page over the course of their internship to hone their understanding of C++. The material presented in this series is partially based on the following (excellent) tutorials, and I highly recommend checking these out in your own time:
