basic use of the application development tool, debugging
variables, variable types, constants
functions, subroutines
strings and their processing
list, arrays, collections
data structures: struct, class, object
sequential structure, branching structure, repeating structure
exception handling
file processing

Teaching methods

Online teaching, guidance, independent work.

Programming exercises to be returned
Optional project work

Exam dates and retake possibilities

There is an online exam.
The dates of the exam and retakes will be published in the learning environment at the beginning of the course.

The course will end by retake two. After this date, course exercises are non-returnable and incomplete courses must be re-taken in their entirety at the next course implementation.
