Sounds good. A good hint is to focus on generic programming (templates), correct design and initial encounters with Monte Carlo and PDE applications.
Caveat: not too deep inheritance hierarchies, they become unmaintainanble super-fast.

Will try and keep that in mind and give more time to Monte Carlo and PDE. Thanks for the advice!
