Aims

To acquaint students with the basics of computer networks, the architecture of a university and faculty network inclusive of services, and operating systems such as Windows and Unix and their services, and file systems. To acquaint students with the basics of programming and algorithmization, using the ANSI C language and development tool Visual Studio.
Students will be able to:
- use the University Information System and the Moodle learning system
- configure an e-mail client
- connect a device to the BUT Wi-Fi network,
- control the development environment Microsoft Visual Studio,
- program basic tasks in the C language according to the ANSI standard, compile program and use proper functions
- debug programs in the C language and look for errors,
- design the structure of the program.
