Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- use scripting languages to solve scientific problems i.e. in bioinformatics or engineering;
- use modules and write programs with several interacting components;
- use an integrated development environment;
- write shell scripts and combine shell scripts with Python
Content
The course is intended for students at the masters level interested in using scripting programming language for solving engineering problems, mainly related to bioinformatics and data handling. The course is to a large extent application driven, and the emphasis is on using a scripting language or shell scripts in combination with the scripting language.
Programming, debugging and execution in Python. Data types, regular expressions, functions and modules in Python. Coding for plotting of data (with matplotlib) and management of numerical data (with numpy), and for analysis of genetic data. Use of a integrated development environment (IDE), and testing, debugging and documentation. Basic use of Linux via Bash (e.g. pipelines and commands like grep, awk and so forth). Shell scripts.
Instruction
Computer labs. Programming assignments and feedback sessions linked to these assignments.
Assessment
Assignments and mini projects with oral presentation.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
Other directives
The course cannot be included in the same degree as 1TD046 Programming, bridging course.
