Prerequisites
( IB111 Foundations of Programming || NOW( IB111 Foundations of Programming )) && PB071 Principles of low-level prog.
The course is, due to its synthetic nature, intended for students with some knowledge of a modern imperative programming language (Python), some low-level language (C) and a functional programming language (Haskell).

Course objectives
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the various concepts present in modern programming languages. The course also serves as an introduction to object-oriented programming.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the student will:
know all basic concepts present in modern programming languages;
be able to quickly obtain an in-depth understanding a of new programming language and start using it;
understand the principles of object-oriented programming;
able to assess suitability of a given programming language for a particular problem domain;
to analyze both strong and weak aspects of a given programming language,
