This course is given in English as it corresponds to a Teaching Unit of the International MSc on Cyber Physical and Social Systems (CPS2): AI and IoT
Part 1: Everything from the Command Line
The command line interface is an essential tool for computer developers, both for its wealth of available tools and for its ability to increase productivity through the development of ad-hoc scripts.
Each of the other courses in the Computer Science Major makes use of the Shell command line interface, now available on all major operating systems.
The objective of the "Everything on the Command Line" part of this course is for students to master the fundamental concepts of the Shell command line, and to become comfortable with the command line interface for computer development projects.
The following concepts will be covered:
Part 2: Technological Foundation of Software Development
The second part of this course aims to discover the tools and methods that are essential to know in any modern software development project.
Students will discover:
Modern tools and methods adapted to the development and implementation of software systems
The course consists of eight independent parts:
