Objectives
This unit aims at providing key basic technical concepts when using and programming computers, namely in an Unix/Linux environment . It strengthens the knowledge acquired inprevious units, such as Introduction to Computers and Imperative Programming.
Learning outcomes and competences
The student should use an Unix/Linux environment effectively:
1. both understand a CLI and a GUI;
2. be able to write scripts that automatize frequent or complex tasks;
3. Implement C programs with an advanced use of pointers and structures;
4. develop a software project in a multi-task open-ended specification;
5 understand the fundamentals of the development of a software project.
Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
We would expect the students to have attended IC and PI, and they should be participating, or have experience in Data Structures.
Program
- Introduction to bash
- basic command line tasks
- file manipulation
- advanced commands
- tool composition
- programação em C utilizando estruturas e apontadores
- development of a software project, with the following requirements
- real program, with different components;
- encapsulated IO and notion of protocol.
- process vs program
- basic process communicaton

Teaching methods and learning activities
This component is organised as labs:
- small task resolution;
- project execution.
An automatic program validation platform will be made available. Components of the proposed project shall be submited in this plataform.

Eligibility for exams
It is mandatory to attend at least 75% of the given classes.
Moreover, the realization of the following components is mandatory:
- Self-assessment tasks (project components), with success in at least 75% (weighted) of the tasks;
- Two tests (project evaluation).
Calculation formula of final grade
The final grade is determined by the the weighted average of two tests (project evaluation):
GRADE = 0.35*T1 + 0.65*T2
