Practical details
Hands-on work
This course contains over 60% hands-on work in Visual Basic (course ref INP), Java (course ref INJ), C# (course ref OGR) or Python (course ref THO).
Course schedule
1 The foundations of programming
- What is a program? What is a language? The different paradigms. Which language for which application?
- Compilers. Executables.
- The responsibilities of a programmer.
- What is an algorithm?
- The needs met by an algorithm.
- The concept of pseudo-language.
Hands-on work
Presentation of different languages (Java, C#, Visual Basic, C, C++). Write your first algorithm in a pseudo-language.
2 Genesis of a first program
- Write a simple program: syntax and instructions.
- Compile and run the program.
- What is a bookshop? Its role, its use.
Hands-on work
Discover the development and execution environment. Write, compile and run a first program.
3 Programming rules
- Naming convention.
- Syntax convention.
- Using comments. Why comment on developments?
- Improve program readability: code indentation, code breakdown, etc.
4 Variables
- What is a variable?
- Why type a variable?
- Primitive types: integers, strings, real numbers, others.
- Declaration, definition and initialization of a variable.
- Constants.
- Input, display, assignment, type conversion.
- Organize data in tabular form.
- Advanced types: record, matrix, tree.
Hands-on work
Write several simple programs to manipulate variables.
5 Operators and expressions
- The different operators (multiplicative, additive, comparison, equality, logic, assignment).
- Combination of operators.
- Boolean expression.
Hands-on work
Handling operators and Boolean expressions.
6 Control structures
- Alternative selections (if, if-then-no, case selection).
- Instruction blocks (notion of Start... End).
- Iterative loops (while-repeat, repeat-until, for-from-to).
- Instruction nesting.
- Comments.
Hands-on work
Use control structures to implement an algorithm.
7 Procedures and functions
- Definitions: procedure, function.
- Why are they essential to programming (reusability, readability, etc.)?
- Parameter passing.
- The return code of a function.
- Awareness of the limits of variable value passing.
- Notion of passage by address.
- Call functions.
8 Introduction to object-oriented programming
- Object programming concepts: class, attribute, method, argument.
- Object modeling based on functional requirements.
- Introduction to best practices in program design and organization.
Hands-on work
Illustration of object concepts.
9 Access to databases
- Data organization and storage.
- Basic processing (connection, queries, data retrieval).
- Client application and data server.
- Data display and manipulation in the client application.
Hands-on work
Create a form to search for information in a database.
10 Program maintenance, debugging and testing
- Read and interpret error messages.
- Use a debugger: execute a program step by step, breakpoints, inspect variables during execution.
- Plan unit tests.
Hands-on work
Use a debugger to control program execution.
