Synopsis:

Students get a general overview of scripting languages, introduction into syntax, semantics, programming style, data structures, pros and cons. In addition, they gain a deeper insight into Bourne Again shell and some other particular scripting languages and will get practical experience with shell script programming.

Note to Erasmus students:

We are ready do adapt the lectures to provide even very basic Bourne shell usage. Depending on actual knowledge of the students, orientation in user filesystem tools (cp, ln, mkdir, rm...) and useful basic data filtering tools (cut, tr, sort, uniq...) can be provided. The advantage of this module is that we do not stop at this point - we will show you also a selection of advanced scripting techniques used in practice.

Requirements:

Student should have some user experience with shell usage as well as basic orientation in operating systems' principles and the formal description of programming languages.
