Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Programming: Theory and practise in all aspects of elementary concurrent programming and program development. Go will be the language of instruction.

Intended learning outcomes

After finishing the course the participants should be able to

  • design and implement simple concurrent programs
  • use programming to solve problems,
  • analyze, choose, select and implement basic algorithms and data structures,

in order to

  • efficiently use computers in their continuing education and working life,
  • find and use the correct techniques for a given problem,
  • take continuation courses in computer science and numerical analysis.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Knowledge and skills in programming, 6 credits, corresponding to completed course DD1337/DD1310-DD1319/DD1321/DD1331/DD1333/DD100N/ID1018/ID1022.

Knowledge of algorithms, data structures and basic software development techniques, 6 credits, corresponding to completed course DD1338/DD1320-DD1328/DD2325/ID1020/ID1021 or completed exam elements KONT and LABD in DD1326.

Active participation in a course round of DD1338 where the final examination has not yet been reported in Ladok is considered equivalent to completion of the course. 
Registering for a course is counted as active participation.
The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.
