ADVANCED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Knowledge and understanding abilities

• knowledge of different programming paradigms
• knowledge of different memory management techniques
• knowledge of the different translation techniques
• knowledge of communication and competition management methods
• knowledge of error management methods

Applying knowledge and understanding abilities) 

• ability to write programs in C++
• Program development capacity in C#
• Software development capability in Python
• ability to resolve in Go

Ability of making judgements

• the student acquires knowledge of different programming languages and paradigms and is able to choose the best one based on the problem to be solved

Communication skills

• the student is able to evaluate the most suitable language for the implementation of an application that solves a given problem

Learning skills

• To introduce the main constructs of programming languages and to provide the tools necessary for the critical evaluation of programming languages.
• Acquire in-depth knowledge of the structures of programming languages that allow you to understand the actual ...

The lessons are arranged into Modules according to the arguments contents.

The main teaching methods are as follows:

lessons, to acquire the basic theoretical knowledge and all the language syntactic elements;

exercises proposed and solved by the teacher to develop student’s “problem solving” methodologies, to apply knowledge and to use the IDEs;

The teacher also proposes individual activities consisting in some problem that the student must solve independently and discuss with the classroom. 

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
