Programming Techniques
This course is suitable for you who are curious about programming in practice. Among other things, you will learn fundamental computer concepts and programming in a modern programming language.
During the course, you will work practically with programming, with smaller exercises and an individual project.
Usually, the course is given as a distance course in English in the spring, and otherwise given in Swedish.
Course contents
The course covers: Fundamental computer concepts. Programming in a modern programming language. Data structures and classes. Problem solving by dividing the problem into sub-problems. Program structuring. Several small programming exercises and one larger, individual programming exercise with emphasis on structuring and specification of the modules being used.

Course structure
The course consists of three elements; theory, an individual assignment and practical exercises.
Teaching format

Assessment
Examination for the course is done with a written examination, and written and oral presentation of the pracitcal exercises and the individual assignment. To pass the course, you need to pass all three elements.
Assessment when the course is given as a distance course
The written examination takes place on campus even when the course is given as a distance course. If you cannot come to Stockholm for the exam, you may be able to arrange to take the exam elsewhere, e.g. at another university or (if you are not in Sweden) at a Swedish embassy or consulate.
