Learning outcomes
Student is able to
- apply a modern software development environment (SDE)
- apply the basic structures of programming
- implement an interactive and modular application
Implementation and methods of teaching
Flipped classroom. Students get familiar with the course material i.e. videos and presentation material before the contact lessons. On contact lessons the students will concentrate on solving programming tasks with the help of teacher and other students. Student may proceed on the course after the teacher or the automatic test process has approved the solutions to given test problems.
Timing and attendance
Course kick off on week 2 (8.1. - 12.1.2024). Recommended that all students attend this kick off session. Also recommended that all students participate in supervised lessons throughout the course but, if student is able to solve the given programming problems without help and ahead of given schedule, the lessons are not compulsory. Student may enroll on the course exam when he/she thinks being ready for it and the teacher approves it. Course exam in the end of the course.
Learning material and recommended literature
Material delivered in course Moodle
Alternative completion methods
Show corresponding skills in general retake or by a separate project. Project must be defined by the student and approved by teacher before starting the work.
Learning environment
Material (videos, presentations, exercises) distributed through Moodle environment.
Student time use and work load
Approximately 110 hours in total i.e. about 8 - 10 hours weekly.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.
No prerequisities. To study outside the class room, student needs a computer with Visual Studio (2015 or later) programming environment, Community version is ok. Computer should be powerful enough to run the development environment, the bigger the screen, the better. To submit solutions to exercises, a working web connection is required.
