Introduction to Programming

Automation and Computer Systems
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The Introduction to Programming course aims to provide students with basic programming knowledge, with a view to application in automation and computer systems. Additionally, the Java programming language is used to teach students the basic concepts of programming. The Introduction to Programming course is fundamental in students' training, providing essential knowledge in algorithms, programming languages and Java. Throughout the course, students will explore topics that include algorithms and their complexity, programming languages and the operation of compilers, as well as the Java language, which covers variables, conditional structures, functions and interaction with the operating system, including memory and process management. These skills have broad applications and are crucial for different areas of study and future professional careers, making them a valuable basis for dealing with computer tools in different contexts.
