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.
For your information, Prof. Kyounghoon Kim is teaching the same course. Do interact with all the classmates and share. Don't be a big fish in a pond.
Goal
In this course, we are going to learn the essence of 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 (translation available) recommended books. I also recommend you to read C언어 공부법과 책추천(by sunyzero) because it gives guide on how to study the language and provides reasons why the first two books are required textbooks. We are going to use the King's book in the class. Kernighan and Ritchie's book provides very short and concise introduction of C language in less than 50 pages, which is very helpful in understanding the capabilities of the language.

Homework and Guidelines
- Every week, you are to meet with your team and discuss the materials that you are going to master. After the discussion, you are to write the new findings in the piazza.
