Participants of this module will understand the content of the lecture and will be able to explain and apply it. They should have aquired the capability to learn similar content themselves. In addition, they should have aquired a basic understanding of the way of thinking in computer science.

The course addresses core concepts of programming and fundamental data structures and algorithms.

Students will learn and practice basic control flows (branches and loops) and data structures (numbers and collections) in Python. Students will be guided from novice to intermediate level in programming by learning concepts and doing practical examples/exercises of progressive difficulty.

In parallel, students will learn basic techniques of systematic software development, such as version management, code-based documentation, debugging, testing and refactoring. Those techniques will be successively introduced and practiced while learning programming in Python, but their fundamentals are independent of a programming language.

Due to the current Covid-19 situation the course will be held partelly online. Materials as well as videos with content to be learned are provided online, whereas meetings are used to deepen the understanding of programming and to discuss exercises together.
