Aim of the course

  • Familiarize students with scripting languages for their practical use.
  • Shaping basic skills for improving daily computer tasks (at home, work) using scripting languages.

Prerequisites

Scope

Virtualization, virtual machines, run the system environment from another operating system.

Tips and tricks of process management and automation tasks in Linux and Windows systems, practical use of the command line and scripting languages (e.g., Bash, CMD, Perl) in order to improve the efficiency of the usage of an operating system.

Improve performance of the use of MS Office software, introduction to the VBA language. Markup languages (XML, HTML, XHTML). Creating websites using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), design of the document structure, using block elements, inserting embedded hyperlinks, tables and forms, validation of the HTML source.

Using scripting languages in design of websites and web services. Using PHP language in applications embedded on the server, data structures, fundamentals of the web applications design (using frameworks like Symfony or ZendFramework), data transfer using GET and POST method, session control using cookies. Animating websites using JavaScript language, data operations, using Document Object Model (DOM), dynamic modification of Cascading Style Sheets.

Introduction to Python language: areas of application (from command line to web services), using data structures and files, implementation of the scripts using command prompt (data security, streamline daily tasks using scripts), using Python language (e.g., SageMATH packet, Django framework).

Security of web applications based on scripting languages (e.g., PHP). Threats from inappropriate use of cookies, data transfer using POST or GET methods. Protection against injection of malicious code (e.g., Code Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, SQL-Injection attacks).
