Course leader(s):

• Marko Doko (Edinburgh, September)
• Ali Muzaffar (Dubai, September)

Syllabus

1. Programming in a modern general purpose language (e.g., C++, C#, or Rust) (1.1 1. Language fundamentals, 1.2 2. Overview of OOP features of the language, 1.3 3. Libraries for interfacing with databases, 1.4 4. Advanced language features.)

2. Rapid prototyping in a major scripting language with associated libraries and frameworks, e.g. Python, PHP, Ruby, Lua (2.1 1. Language introduction , 2.2 2. Advanced language features and libraries, 2.3 3. OOP features of the language, 2.4 4. Functional programming features of the language)

3. Practical experience with standard environments and tools (e.g. compilers, debuggers, libraries, shell) (3.1 1. Building an application using the general-purpose language covered in the course. CW1, 3.2 , 3.3 2. Building an application using the scripting language covered in the course. CW2)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following:

• Identify the role of different programming paradigms in programming/managing systems.
• Select appropriate language features, libraries, and tools for a given problem specification.
• Demonstrate technical expertise in employing advanced language techniques within diverse programming paradigms.
• Design technical guides containing developer and user documentation.
• Reflect on advantages and limitations of utilised language features, libraries, and tools.
