Introduction to computer science
Introduzione al Corso
The course provides the background on important topics of computer science: Algorithms, Programming and Databases.Regarding algorithms, we introduce the concept of asympthotic notation, we describe simple data structures and we introduce different algorithms for ordering objects and visit graphs.
Regarding programming, we supply a general overview of the two most important programming paradigms (imperative and object-oriented). For each one we provide several usage examples.
