Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Fundamental computer concepts. Programming in a modern programming language (Python). Data structures. Using simple graphics routines. Problem-solving through division into sub-problems. Program structuring. Several smaller programming assignments as well as one larger, individual programming assignment with strong emphasis on structuring and specification of included modules. Introduction to HTML and CSS. Introduction to web programming with for example JavaScript.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student shall be able to

  • design programs without code repetitions
  • divide a larger problem in manageable parts
  • divide a program
  • apply control structures
  • design and present user friendly output
  • create flexible applications
  • choose appropriate names of identifiers
  • design interactive programs
  • use and design composite data types and classes
  • transfer data between file and program
  • review others' programs
  • create static and dynamic web pages
  • develop simple web applications

in order to be able to

  • use programming to solve problems and in teaching in the upper secondary school
  • apply the problem solving methodology also in other fields than programming
  • discuss software development with experts
  • assess commercial programs
  • independently and in a group solve problems by designing programs of up to 500 lines in a modern programming language
  • design a simple dynamic web page.
