Course detail

Computers and Programming 1

FEKT-BPC-PC1TAcad. year: 2025/2026

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.

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.
