Learning outcomes: The course lets student know essential concepts of automatic data performing, tools for expressing algorithms as well for building and debugging computer programs. After completion the the course student: – is familiar with fundamental properties of programming languages; – knows in basic score high-level programming language; – is able to use it to program simple algorithm using typical data structure; – can browse, sort and search content of flat data table or text files; – knows mechanism of recurrence in programming; – understands concept of objects; is able to use object’s properties, methods and actions, – is able to prepare simple user’s interface.

Competences: The student gets elementary knowledge and skills, that make possible creating short programs, as well as compiling and managing larger programs available in the source form. He is prepared to built simple applications performing typical data structures. The skills should be considered as a basis for further development in the field of solving problems using algorithmic methods.
