Deep Programming

Overview courses

• Secure Programming

  Through a series of practical assignments the students are called to develop programs that incorporate useful features for security purposes. The students have the chance to become familiar with APIs (OpenSSL) for cryptographic operations, such as symmetric/asymmetric encryption, cryptographic hashing, cryptographic protocols, digital certificates, encrypted sockets, and SSL/TLS.

  Deep understanding of core cryptography is not needed. Basic concepts of cryptography are introduced and refreshed in the course. The focus is mostly on using cryptographic elements for software development.

• Advanced Network Programming

  The course covers recent advancements in networking technologies in general-purpose computing. It focuses on two main themes:

  End-host networking and network infrastructure. For the practical assignment, students will have to design, implement, and benchmark a distributed key-value using RDMA networking technology on the DAS-5 cluster.

• Compiler Construction

  This course gives an introduction to the internals of modern compilers and allows students to gather practical, hands-on experience on building compiler components.

• Concurrency & Multithreading

  This course provides a comprehensive presentation of the foundations and programming principles for multicore computing devices. Learning objectives are: fundamental insight into multicore computing; algorithms for multicore computing; analyzing such algorithms; concurrent data structures; multicore programming. 

• Equational Programming

  This course provides students with basic knowledge of functional programming (using Haskell) and its foundations via lambda-calculus and equational reasoning.
