| Teaching aims : | Students are introduced to the relationships between various programming paradigms and generations of programming languages. Thus, they are able to judge their characteristics, advantages, disadvantages with regard to computer science and media applications. Using 2 alternative languages (for example, Lisp/Scheme and Prolog), students will gain the ability to program applications beyond the common programming paradigms/languages, such as Java or C. Students will have a command of the fundamental concept of both these languages and can deepen their existing knowledge independently. | ||
