Registration
Please fill out the registration form and send it to Ralf Stauder (). PLEASE ALSO REGISTER ON TUMonline AFTER RECEIVING A CONFIRMATION FROM THE TUTORS FOR THIS PRACTICAL COURSE!!!General content
The Lab Course is intended to teach basic concepts of the software project management and development for medical and intra-operative applications. You will be confronted with a brief introduction to the software project management concepts such as requirement analysis, software design, coding guidelines and unified modeling language (UML). Furthermore, you will be exposed to basic concepts of the C++ programming language, graphical user interface programming using Qt and OpenGL. Last but not least topics like version control, deployment and test will be explored. You will be assigned a medical software project to apply the mentioned concepts in a real-life scenario.Prerequisites
This course requires basic knowledge in C++. The concepts of OO Programming and other concepts as conducted in the Introduction to CS lecture are assumed.Schedule
