Our first lecture will take place tomorrow at 9 am (sharp) in building E2.2, lecture hall 001 (Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal). Afterwards, you will work in small groups on a sheet that you can then find in the materials section to practice what you have learned in the lecture. We highly recommend to bring a laptop (or tablet with keyboard) to work on the exercises. While you work on these exercises, a coach will drop by at some point to support you in case you have questions. For the individual work and coaching phase, you will be divided into rooms, which you can find on your personal status page as “coaching room” later today. Furthermore, Professor Hack is holding a guest lecture “Efficient Text Editing with the Vim Editor” from 2 to 3:30 pm. We will close the day with a rather short tutorial at 3:45 pm. Your tutorial might be in another room than the coaching. You can find your tutorial and the respective room on your personal status page ('Your Tutorial') later today. The overall schedule can be found in the timetable section of the CMS. Last but not least, we recommend to read the Welcome and General Information sheet uploaded in the Materials section. We are excited to meet you! |
Programming 2 Pre-Course
The lecture Programming 2, and many other basic lectures, are often somewhat challenging for people without experience in an imperative programming language. Additionally, they often prerequire basic knowledge of Git or Unix. The preparatory course aims to teach you these basics, and we hope that you can enjoy an easier transition into the next semester by attending it.
Monday, 30.03. to Wednesday, 01.04.
On these days, we have prepared a bigger project, which should make your start with RISC-V (the assembly language you will get to know in Prog2) easier. You will have lectures, tutorials, and time for individual studies, where you will learn more about the following contents:
- branches, loops, and lables
- variables
- (maze solving) algorithms
- data structures
- functions
You can easily work on this project and solve the given tasks in your web browser.
Thursday, 02.04.
Since in Prog2, projects are generally coded on Unix-based operating systems and controlled using Git, we will start this course with an introduction to Git and Unix. This knowledge will make it easier for you to work with version control systems and Unix-systems, usage of which is essential for completing your projects in Programming 2. There will also be a small project to test your newly gained knowledge.
You can find our schedule on the timetable page. All materials of the course will of course be made available to all participants of the lecture Programming 2.
Important
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the forum.
This course will only be offered in presence. That means the tutorials and the coaching will only happen in place at the university. The materials will be uploaded and you can work at them at home.
We strongly recommend participating in this pre-course, at least on the last day (Thursday). On Thursday we will help you install the software, which will be needed in Programming 2 later on.
Note
This course is not an official course, but an offer of (partly former) Programming 2 tutors. Accordingly, no CP will be awarded, participation is optional, and HISPOS registration is neither possible nor required.
