| Aims of the course |
Introduction
to programming in the domain control of standard PC ports, downloading data
from ports and measurements in an interactive graphical environment. Getting
to know the theory, principles, standards, protocols and basic libraries on
which network programming is based.
|
|
|
| Learning outcomes |
Adopting
basic concepts in programming domain in controlling standard ports. Acquiring
practical knowledge necessary for the development of functional applications,
based on developing your own code and setting up experiments that use devices
connected to computers through standard ports. Adoption of theoretical basis
of network programming within the framework of development environments under
Windows or Linux operating systems. Getting acquainted with the specific
development of platforms in the field of network programming, and getting
acquainted with protocol-based programming methods. |
