| Teaching aims : | Students acquire fundamental skills in the practical use of computers as essential tools in computer science. They are able to write source code in the programming languages C and Python, and to develop meaningful software applications. Furthermore, they master the efficient use of the command line interface, particularly for automating common tasks in software development. A central focus is placed on understanding, implementing, and optimizing fundamental algorithms and data structures. Students learn to systematically process data, work with file systems, and confidently apply input and output (I/O) mechanisms. They also gain an understanding of the principles of data storage and querying. In addition, students develop the ability to design and implement software systems both independently and in teams. In doing so, they make effective use of version control systems such as Git, and collaborative platforms like git, to support professional teamwork, source code management, and documentation. | ||
