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.

Setup Instructions
Step 1: 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.
Step 2: Installing Python and C
Python
Linux
- Open terminal via
Ctrl+Alt+Tor search for "Terminal" from app launcher in Linux - Type the following to install Python:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install python3.6
To check if python is installed properly.
James@maker:~$ python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Apr 4 2017, 08:47:57)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.38)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print("Hello, world")
Hello, worldWindows
Download and install python for windows from here
C
Linux
C in Linux is prebuilt into the system; however, on windows it is not.
If C compiler is not installed in the system then follow the steps in the terminal Ctrl+Alt+t.
sudo apt-get update # 패키지 리스트 최신화
sudo apt-get upgrade # 패키지 업그레이드
sudo apt-get install build-essential # 컴파일러 환경 설치
gcc -v # gcc 설치 버전 확인
make -v # make 설치 버전 확인Windows
Follow the description on here
Step 3: Installing Jupyter Notebook
Option 1: Installation via Anaconda
It is recommended that you install Jupyter Notebook via Anaconda
- Download & install Anaconda for Python here
- Run
jupyter notebookto confirm that it is properly installed
If Anaconda doesn't have jupyter: you can try running
conda install jupyter
Option 2: Installation via pip
You can also install via the python package manager pip
- Make sure you have installed
pythonandpip
- Make sure
pipis updated to its latest versionpip install --user --upgrade pip
- Install Jupyter Notebook
pip install --user --upgrade jupyter
Step 3: Installing Other Dependencies
Installing C for Jupyter
Open up the terminal and type the following commands to install minimal C for jupyter
pip install jupyter-c-kernel
install_c_kernel
jupyter notebook
Git
Git is a version control system which we use to store the various course material; you can download from here
- you can download the course material from here
- If you want the up-to-date version of the course material, checkout the course repository from the git by typing the following command
git clone https://github.com/resourceful/ICP
IDE
If you wish to use other IDE, such as pycharm or spyder, you can also install them by typing
sudo apt-get install spyder
- When asked password for installing the programs, use your log-in password.
Installing Vi or emacs: the editors
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
- When asked password for installing the programs, use your log-in password.
Step 4: Getting Started
Getting the latest course materials
You can always access the latest course materials on the course website. You can download all at once and keep them synced by using git. To get started with this, run:
git clone https://github.com/resourceful/ICP.git
Now you should have all the materials in Introduction to Computer Programming; to get the latest version, run the following command in the repository.
git pull
To read the notebook
In the directory where the relevant course materials are, run:
jupyter notebook
Useful Sites
- https://www.codesdope.com/ - Well documented online learning site for a number of programming languages.
- https://cs50.harvard.edu - People say CS50 in hazard is "Demanding, but definitely doable. Social, but educational. A focused topic, but broadly applicable skills. CS50 is the quintessential Harvard (and Yale!) course." There video lectures on c and its applications are really helpful.
- Intro to CS and Prog in Python MIT - There video lectures on python are also helpful
- Intro. to C and C++ MIT - The slide for lecture one is impressive. They give lectures on c and c++
- Practical Programming in C MIT - Yet, another lecture on C
- cs107 Stanford (archived, 2016) - For deeper understanding of C and its relationship with the system.
