Course content
The course consists of two parts: ICT theory (1/3) and an introduction to procedure-oriented programming in Python (2/3).
ICT theory
- Principles of computer operations.
- Digital representation.
- Algorithms.
- Network and communication.
- Software engineering.
Procedure-oriented programming:
- Variables and data types.
- Input and output.
- Control structures: Sequence, conditional program flow and repetitions.
- Structuring and modularisation of programs; functions and modules.
- 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.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
- Hold basic knowledge about information and communication technology (ICT): Computers, digital representation of information, algorithms, software, communication and networks.
- Hold basic knowledge about the basic elements of procedure-oriented programming.
- Hold basic knowledge about the process from a problem to a working program.
Skills:
- Be able to use the basic elements in practical, procedure-oriented programming.
