First Steps: In C++ and ROOT

C++ in a ROOT Framework

1. Starting and Stopping ROOT
   Starting and stopping ROOT. Installation problems. ROOT Commands. Command line recall.
2. Typing in C++
   Typing in C++. Using header files.
3. Macros
   Storing and executing C++ code in files. Functions. ACLiC compiling.
4. Classes
   Creating classes and objects.
5. Stack & Heap Objects
   Creating and destroying objects on the stack and the heap. Accessing objects via pointers.
6. Inheritance
   Inheriting from TNamed. TNamed as an example of an interface between the ROOT framework and user code. Asking ROOT to find a named object. The CINT shortcut for named objects.

   Analysis in a ROOT Framework

7. Interacting with Graphical Objects
   Looking up ROOT class information. Creating graphical objects amd interacting with them.
8. Canvases and Pads
   Creating TCanvas and TPad objects. Making a TPad the current pad. Adding objects to the current pad. Updating pads.
9. Histograms
   Creating, updating and displaying histograms in real time. ROOT's random number facility.
10. Files
    Creating and opening ROOT files. Writing and reading objects.
11. N-tuples
    Creating, filling and displaying n-tuples. Reading ASCII data files.
12. Formulae, Functions and Fitting
    Creating and using TFormula objects. Creating and drawing TF1 function objects. Fitting histograms.
