Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to: - write complex computer programs - apply basic as well as advanced concepts of a modern programming language, (e.g., imperative and object oriented programming) and the basics of using design patterns - use tools for successful project management (version control tools, bug tracking, etc.) - develop a larger program in collaboration with other students – including the necessary specifications, documentation and test The course puts strong emphasis on the use of online resources and self-guided learning in order to teach the students how to acquire skills in a novel programming language using manuals and available resources.

Content

- using the UNIX operating system: basic commands, editor, navigation - using a repository (subversion) for version control during code development - introduction to the programming language python - objects and object attributes in python - object oriented programming in python - integrated development environments - test driven code development - extreme programming - refactoring - project management - design patterns

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

IV: As a block before Semester Start Background knowledge and the principal concepts of the employed programming language are presented to the class by a lecturer. In order to integrate any specialist knowledge that some of the students in the interdisciplinary Computational Neuroscience Program may have, some topics may also introduced by individual students in seminar-style talks. Groups of up to 20 participants are taught the relevant practical details to complete programming exercises on the computer. They solve small programming tasks, partially in class, partially as homework. Project: Larger programming projects are solved in collaboration with other students (in groups of ca. 4-6), including students taking different roles within those projects, using project management tools and learning to effectively lead such projects. The different projects are individually supervised by the tutor.

Registration Procedures

Enrollment to the module is handled in the first class of each module component (cf. 3). Students must be present in person. The module components Programming Course (lecture with exercises) and Project (lecture with exercises) have to be taken successively. Students of the Master program in Computational Neuroscience have to register with the examination office (Prüfungsamt) of TU Berlin before the first study achievement (homework assignment). For students from other programs, other regulations may apply. Please consult the examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung) of your program.
