PURPOSE
Students who complete this module acquire a basic proficiency in
programming.
The student gets a basic introduction to the concepts behind
client-server based networks and underlying protocols. Furthermore,
the student gets an introduction to client- and server-side
development. Thereby, the student gains an understanding of basic
concepts and mechanisms in a programming language so that these can
be used to implement smaller applications
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- understand the structure of client-server networks
- understand program design methods and the ability to distinguish between good and bad programming practices
- understand the basic principles of a programming language, including control structures, data types, data structures and function programming languages, so that these can be used to implement smaller applications
Skills
- apply acquired knowledge in the design of a simple application
- implement, interpret and analyze program code
- apply programming skills to process and process keyboard and mouse inputs
- apply programming skills to design and implement basic functions
- discuss and evaluate the quality of a given program code
Competences
- evaluate existing program code, evaluate its design and suggest changes
- use specified web programming languages to solve specific programming tasks
Type of instruction
The teaching is organized in accordance with the general teaching methods for the education, cf. section 17.
