Computer Programming and Programming Languages
About this course
This course provides methods for the design and implementation of computer programs in C programming language using the structured/modular approach. Also, the course aims to provide a good programming style, and to determine the causes of programming errors and to correct them.
A brief presentation about Computer Programming and Programming Languages subject is available here.
- 40% laboratory test (LT), LT>=5
- 60% written exam (WE), WE>=5 => Final grade = 0.40*LT + 0.60*WE

Relational and Non-relational Databases
About this course
This course provides methods for the design, implementation and exploitation of relational databases using Oracle software.
The main directions of this course focus on model-based design techniques of relational databases, SQL queries, PL/SQL code sequences.
The development of software applications, that use relational databases, represents another topic addressed by this course.
Also, a special attention is given to NoSQL databases, as they represent a new approach in the context of big data.
A brief presentation about Databases subject is available here.
Grading: 100% exam (the development and presentation of a project according to the specifications mentioned in subsection About project).
