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

Completed course in programming corresponding to DD1310/DD1311/DD1312/DD1314/DD1315/DD1316/DD1318/DD1331/DD1337/DD100N/ID1018 and computer science corresponding to DD1320/DD1321/DD1325/DD1327/DD1338/DD2325/ID1020.

Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet 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.
