Course detail

Computers and Programming 1

FEKT-KPC1TAcad. year: 2019/2020

In this course, students learn about computer network solutions and the potentials of university and faculty networks. Part of the course is to introduce the basics of operating systems, their services, and file systems. The course focuses on practical skills of algorithm development and programming in the C language according to the ANSI standard, to the level of preparation of customized functions and their use.
