After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• describe important concepts of a modern progamming language
• implement small programs
• apply practices and tools during the implementation of small programms
• understand selected algorithms

The following topics are covered in this course:

• procedural programming concepts (variables, data types, operators, branches, loops, arrays, sub programs)
• input/output
• recursion
• basic algorithms (searching, sorting)
• fundamental development methods (procedural abstraction, checking correctness, debugging) and programming tools inclusive a development environment.

Java is used as programming language.

• lectures with discussions (recorded lectures in LectureTube)
• exercise sheets as a preparation for labs
• presentation und discussion of solved exercises during labs
• programming tests during labs
• online tests (TUWEL) for consolidation of basic principles.

Preliminary lectures: Monday, March 2, 2020 from 3:15 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., EI 9.
