Course Introduction

In the Computer Engineering, the language you use determines the capabilities of the software you develop. The more powerful a language is, the easier you can increase the performance and the simpler you can write the software. We are going to learn two languages in this course, Python and C. Python is a versatile, yet powerful, language that is easy to learn as well as the ease of the use. Many of the well-known companies are using Python to solve many of the engineering problems. For example, Dropbox desktop client is written in Python. Another language we are learning in the class is C. Since Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell Lab in the early 1970s developed C Programming Language, it has become one of the most powerful language used by various developers working in mobile, enterprise, and embedded systems. The success of C language is the result from its portability, standard library, ready use of the hardware, and ease of optimization.

Goal

In this course, we are going to learn the essence of two languages, namely Python and C. Students are going to learn the following concepts.

• Compiling and running the program
• Variables, Data Types, and Arithmetic Expressions
• Loops and Control Flows
• Arrays and Pointers
• Functions
• Data Structures
• File I/O

Textbook

Python

There are two textbooks for Python. The class is based on the first book which is elementary and an introductory textbook on python for absolute beginner, but the second book is recommend. Although there is no Korean version of Think Python, it is written in plain English with friendly style. It would be better to have this book rather than the first. Moreover, the author made it freely available on the web.

C

There are two must have and one recommended--solely because there is translated book available. The first two books are must have textbooks. The third one is recommended. I also recommend you to read C언어 공부법과 책추천(by sunyzero). It gives guide on how to study the language and also emphasizes why the first two books are required textbooks. I recommend to buy the original books and not the translated books.

Miscellaneous

• Class A and B will be taught with same text book, class materials, exercises, and assignments. There might be minor differences regarding the teaching methods and use of the time; however, overall layout and the course schedule in both of the classes is the same.
• Each class is graded separately.

Installing Linux

• Read the following link to install the linux on your machine
• If you wish to use virtual machine to run linux then use the following link; beware that your pc must have sufficient computation power.

Installing Python and editors

• Open terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T or search for "Terminal" from app launcher
• Type the following to install Python: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install python3.6

You can use vi, emacs, or other IDE to work with python.

• vi and emacs comes with the operating system distribution; however, the version is not up-to-date. To upgrade the version of the programs type the following: sudo apt-get install vi emacs
• If you wish to use other IDE, such as pycharm or spyder, you can also install them by typing <code sudo apt-get install spyder
• When asked password for installing the programs, use your log-in password.

To check if python is installed properly.
