Content

In this unit students will expand their programming skills beyond procedural and object-oriented methods covered in earlier units, investigating parallel and distributed, as well as real-time systems programming. Through both study of theoretical aspects of programming languages and hands-on practicals on these programming paradigms, students will develop an understanding, skills and expertise in choosing and implementing the right programming paradigms to tackle the computational problems at hand.
