Fondamenti di Informatica e Programmazione

Educational Goals

The course is the sequel of "Fondamenti di Informatica e Programmazione", and addresses more advanced opics related to Java and C programming.

The emphasis will be placed, mainly as far as Java language is concerned, on those points that characterize modern programming: static and animated graphics, interaction with the user and event management, parallel processes programming, etc.

The C part of the course will be mainly devoted to dynamic memory management and related topics, such as pointers usage.

The course will be integrated with a substantial experimental activity, to be carried out at home and in the computer lab.

Content

User interaction and graphical programming in Java

C programming with dynamic memory management

Extended Syllabus

Advanced aspects of Java programming
Applets, related HTML code, graphical man-machine interfaces (GUIs); event handling, timed and parallel threads, Internet-connected processes (using sockets).

HTML
The basic HTML notions needed for running exercise programs will be given. In particular, forms and a few Javascript commands will be addressed.

Algorithms
Some basic algorithms will be introduced, such as string processing algorithms (substring search, tokenization, etc.), and operations on data sets (search, sorting, etc.)

C language
The description of C language that was started in the course Fondamenti di Informatica e Programmazione will be completed, with particular emphasis on dynamic memory management. Basic notions for using Unix and Linux operating systems will also be provided.

Theoretical aspects of event handling and of event-driven programming
From the physical event to messages: interrupts, event queues, methods for events handling, message generation and dispatching, listeners.

Teaching Methods

Traditional lectures and classroom experiments;
Laboratory exercises;
Individual activity.

Assessment Methods

The exam consists of a written and an oral examination.

The written examination (no textbooks or cheat sheets allowed) includes multiple-choice and open-answer theoretical questions, along with program synthesis and analysis exercises.

The oral examination is a discussion on the written test, and may include general questions on the course topics.

Passing the written examination is required in order to access the oral examination.

The written test can be done in a tradional way (on paper) or using computers in the computer lab or, if a limited number of students attend the exam, can be substituted by the oral examination alone.

If the result of the written test is particularly good, the student may be awarded a grade without having to take the oral examination.
