Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course aims to provide a gentle introduction to programming and related technical skills for students with little or no experience. At the end of the course, students should be able to

- use a UNIX-style terminal to carry out basic functions
- create and use version control repositories
- implement solutions for simple problems in Python
- test and demonstrate the validity of their solutions
- communicate their solutions effectively

In particular, the course will cover the following topics:

- introduction to the UNIX shell (navigating files & directories, working with files & directories, pipes and filters, loops, shell scripts)
- introduction to version control with git (setting up and using repositories, licensing, merging)
- programming basics (data types, variables, lists, loops, control flow)
- functions and programs (writing functions, scopes, python scripts, command line options, test-driven development)
- documentation and code communication (literal programming, Jupyter Notebooks, commenting/documenting)
- AI and its responsible use (workflow augmentation, limitations)

The first half of the course will consist of short theory-practice sessions, using examples from various domains of biology as well as programming puzzles. As the number of concepts to discuss gets progressively smaller, the focus will instead increasingly lie on problem-solving. Students will be handed frequent homework assignments; results and questions will be discussed in the course.

Prior knowledge in UNIX, version control, or programming (in any language) is helpful, but not required.
