The aim of the course is to understand the topic of scripting languages and their applications, to understand their advantages and disadvantages and their complementarity with system languages. Students will become familiar with regular expressions and tools for word processing. The course focuses on the scripting languages within the Unix operating system and the scripting languages Python.
The student's knowledge is tested by continuous assessment through two tests after each block. Each test is graded with 50 points and it is necessary to obtain at least 50% in total, i.e. 50 points/2 tests. The final grade is determined by the number of points obtained and the ECTS scale. The course allows for a maximum of 2 excused absences.
Course has no lectures.
