Course GMI35S

Script Programming

7.5 Credits
First Cycle

Starts week 3, 2024

Increasing digitalisation through automation is a common goal for many organisations. The course deals with the development of scripting programs in different types of scripting languages in varied IT environments: for example, the automation of administrative IT-systems, workflows, and processes. Students get hands-on experience applying an integrated development environment (IDE) for testing, troubleshooting, and documenting to achieve good code quality. Data types, regular expressions, functions, and the use of modules and different types of APIs are also covered.
As well, there is discussion on how HTTP methods such as GET and POST can be used both to retrieve data via different types of data sources and to execute CRUD (create, read, update and delete data) against data sources via scripts. The basics of marking languages for the transport of data objects are studied.
The course also includes the writing of code for handling numerical data, plotting and scientific analysis of data: for example, the analysis of images with AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the visualisation of results.
Students complete a group project in which they report on work where they have immersed themselves in a development project, in a specific technology or in tools used in connection with script programming.
