See position in the curriculumObjective
This course builds on the basic programming courses in year 1. After having attended this module, students have a good knowledge of programming in C and C++ and are ably to use system-level APIs like the POSIX API. They acquire a systematic knowledge of synchronization primitives and are able to effectively use system calls for multithreading, synchronization, and inter-process communication.Language
