Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Orientation in programming languages and how to set up a programming environment. Programming basics: data types, assignments, flow control, functions and procedures, debugging. Sorting and searching. Finding and using existing programming libraries. Automating external programmes and web services, and parsing results. Object orientation.
Assessment and permitted materials
Solutions to exercises are handed in weekly, and grading is based on the completion of exercises and the final project.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
After the course, the students will know principles and techniques for construction of simple programs for solving problems in bioinformatics, using a common scripting programming language. The participants will have practical experience with implementation of text processing and parsing as well as communication with external programs from within a common scripting programming language. The method of work at the course will also train the participants to plan and complete projects.
Examination topics
The course will be in the form of short lectures, followed by longer individual exercises. A larger applied exercise/project is given at the end of the course.
