Course Objectives

The goal of this course is to complement the preparation acquired with the course of "Programming and Algorithms 1", integrating it with practice sessions in laboratory. We only report here the knowledge and skills that the student will acquire specifically in this course.
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
At the end of the course the student should be able to:

explain the general operation and purpose of interpreters, compilers, development environments and debuggers;
illustrate the tools that Python provides for documenting code.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING APPLIED
At the end of the course the student should be able to:

use an integrated development environment (IDE) for creating Python programs;
use a debugger;
operate with the Python interpreter interactively or via a notebook;
access the documentation of the Python standard library;
properly document his own code.

CAPACITY TO LEARN
At the end of the course the student should be able to:

autonomously learn new Python libraries, provided they don't use excessively advanced object-oriented programming techniques.

Course Prerequisites

It is necessary to have some programming knowledge with the Python language. Simultaneous attendance of the "Programming and Algorithms 1" course is enough.

Teaching Methods

The course consists of 24 hours of laboratory sessions. A small part of these hours will be devoted to lectures, but most of the time will consist of practice sessions, during which the students will solve programming problems by themselves, aided by the teacher in case of need.

Assessment Methods

The exam consists of a programming project (to be completed individually or in a group) and a subsequent lab test (individual). The project description will be provided by the teacher at the beginning of the year. The lab test will involve an exercise requiring some modifications to the project, which must have been previously submitted to the teacher.
