We will write a lot of code, so a keen interest in programming is essential.

This is not an introduction to Java, you must already know Java to participate in this course.

Assignments and tutorials

Weekly assignments are handed out in class and are posted on this webpage. We will setup GitHub-classrooms to work with. 

We will discuss how to hand in your first assignment in the lecture on 18.4. Please enroll in the course using Ilias.

Tutorials will start in the week of April 25th.

Project

In the second part of the course you will work on a bioinformatics software project. 

In the past, there was one topic for all students to work on. This time, we might try providing a number of different topics for people to work on.
