Learning Outcomes

  1. explain the principles of how the asynchronous Web works in real time
  2. analyze the principles of building a RESTful API Web system
  3. analyze the applicability of UDP and TCP protocols to design particular types of applications
  4. explain the basic functions of the DMBS system and the principles of relational database design
  5. analyze application programming interfaces for relational database operations in different programming languages
  6. analyze the computer complexity and runtime of different queries in the SQL programming language

Forms of Teaching

Lectures

The classes are organized in two blocks: The first block comprises 7 classes and a midterm exam, while the second comprises 6 classes and a final exam. this makes in total 15 weeks with 2 hours per week.

Laboratory

Students need to resolve independently practical tasks for laboratory exercises.
