Course content

The course consists of two parts: ICT theory and an introduction to procedure-oriented programming in Python.

ICT theory Principles of computer operations:

  • Fundamentals of computer hardware
  • Digital representation.
  • Git.
  • Data and software security.

Programming:

  • Variables and data types.
  • Input and output.
  • Control structures: Sequence, conditional program flow and repetitions.
  • Algorithms. Structuring and modularization of programs; functions and modules.
  • Use of libraries and frameworks.
  • Data structures: Lists, tables, text strings, sets, tuples and dictionaries.
  • Persistent storage of data, file input and output, and exceptions.
  • Recursion, sorting and searching.
  • Formulation of algorithms as pseudo code or in flow diagrams.
  • Python as a programming environment.
  • Basic strategies for testing and debugging.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

  • Hold basic knowledge about information and communication technology (ICT): Computers, digital representation, algorithms, software, and security.
  • Hold basic knowledge about the basic elements of procedure-oriented programming.
  • Hold basic knowledge about the process from a problem to a working program.
  • Familiarity with object oriented programming.

Skills:

  • Be able to use the basic elements in practical, procedure-oriented programming.
  • Be able to use object-oriented libraries and their method-calls.
  • Be able to use relevant programming tools, like Thonny or other syntax-driven editors with semantic error-tagging and step-wise execution with inspection of variables.
  • For small-scale problems, be able to use the process from analysis, via algorithm design formulated as pseudo code or in flow-charts, before programming in Python, and testing whether the solution works.
  • Be able to carry out small programming projects with a few hundred lines of code.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercise lectures and mandatory exercises.

Compulsory assignments
