Course description
Objectives and Content
The aim of the course is to give students advanced knowledge about programming, including data structures and algorithms, object orientation, threads, recursion, and elementary computational complexity.
An introduction to different standards for structured data for use with external data sources will also be given.
Content:
- Selected topics on data structures and algorithms, including computational complexity.
- Programming techniques such as object orientation and thread programming.
- Standards for structured data, such as Json, rdf, xml and handling of such data.
