Course description:
The purpose of this course is to give a general introduction to
generative techniques in software development so that the students can
with confidence take part in other courses on related subjects
(e.g. Scripting languages and domain-specific languages; Generic
programming and library development). After a general introduction,
the focus will be on generics in various programming languages. The
course will provide several hands-on exercises ranging from simple
examples to more extensive usage of generics.
Course overview:
The course takes five days, including 5 hours teaching per day. The content
is as follows:
- Monday [Jyrki]:

- Tuesday [Peter]:
- Generics in Java and C#
- Wednesday [Jyrki]:
- Generic programming techniques in C++
- Thursday [Robert]:
