Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Aim

The aim of the course is to provide students with no previous experience in programming sufficient skills to use Python for the back-end development of digital services.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

Knowledge and understanding
• understand how to break down problems and represent the solution steps as an algorithm
• interpret and understand existing Python code
• interpret and understand error messages output by the software
• understand different data types and their use
• understand relationship among data
• understand the components of a web application
• understand the software development process and requirements for web applications

Skills and abilities
• solve basic programming tasks independently by using Python
• extend existing Python code
• solve syntactic and semantic mistakes or errors in existing Python code
• solve advanced programming tasks independently by using existing Python libraries
• develop Python code that manipulates information stored in databases
• develop digital services that use Python as their back end applying the knowledge on the software development process

Judgement and approach
• propose relevant problem(s) that can be addressed using a web application
• assess and prioritize requirements of the problem(s)
• discuss, plan, and execute the development of a web application

Content

• The test-driven and quality-focused software development process
• Python language and development environments (IDEs)
• Basic building blocks of programming (e.g., data types, variables, conditional statements, loops, libraries, catching errors)
• Data structures in Python (e.g., trees, dictionaries, queues, tuples)
• Object oriented programming with Python (e.g., classes, objects, methods, inheritance, polymorphism)
• Database manipulation using Python
• Back-end development for digital systems using Python

Organisation

The course is given in the form of lectures, computer classes and programming assignments.

Literature



Examination including compulsory elements

The examination is composed of a written exam, a number of programming assignments and a final project. The grading is computed considering the exam, assignments and project. Grading: fail, 3, 4, 5.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
