Teaching methods
The course is organised in weekly modules. Each module is about a specific topic and provides both classes and labs. The course is composed of both classes and labs in which slides are often used for teaching. Participation is not mandatory. The main language of the course is Italian.
Assessment methods
The course ends with an oral examination about both Unix/Bash scripting (15/30) and the C programming language (15/30). Both topics will be investigated using a single exercise at the computer. All modules reported on the course main page are required. Exam under video surveillance of the teaching staff
Learning outcomes
The course provides the tools for implementing object oriented applications. At the end of the course, students will be able to develop an modern application, both desktop or mobile, using either Java or Python.
