Mittwoch 15-17 der ersten Semesterwoche (20.09.2017): Während dieser Doppelübungsstunde findet für die Studierenden aus dem Studiengang Informatik im HG F5 und F7 im Rahmen des Pilotprojekts "Aufteilung der Basisprüfung" die Erhebung der Vorkenntnisse statt.
Introduction to fundamental concepts of modern programming and operational skills for developing high-quality programs, including large programs as in industry. The course introduces software engineering principles with an object-oriented approach based.
Objective
Many people can write programs. The "Introduction to Programming" course goes beyond that basic goal: it teaches the fundamental concepts and skills necessary to perform programming at a professional level. As a result of successfully completing the course, students master the fundamental control structures, data structures, reasoning patterns and programming language mechanisms characterizing modern programming, as well as the fundamental rules of producing high-quality software. They have the necessary programming background for later courses introducing programming skills in specialized application areas.
Content
Basics of object-oriented programming. Objects and classes. Pre- and postconditions, class invariants, Design by Contract. Fundamental control structures. Assignment and References. Basic hardware concepts. Fundamental data structures and algorithms. Recursion. Inheritance and interfaces, introduction to event-driven design and concurrent programming. Basic concepts of Software Engineering such as the software process, specification and documentation, reuse and quality assurance.
Lecture notes

Additional information on mode of examination
Während des Semesters können durch aktive Mitarbeit Bonuspunkte erarbeitet werden. Am Ende des Semesters wird aus den Bonuspunkten eine Note für die Übungen berechnet. Die Note für die Übungen fliesst in die Endnote ein, sofern deren Berücksichtigung vorteilhaft ist.
Schlussprüfung: 2 Stunden Programmierprüfung am Computer und 1 Stunde schriftliche Prüfung auf Papier.
Die Bonuspunkte zählen auch für die Repetitionsprüfung oder einen 1. Versuch im Sommer. Sobald die Lerneinheit neu gelesen wird, sind die Bonuspunkte aus dem Vorjahr nicht mehr anrechenbar.
Written aids
