Course Code: CS633PE
Professional Elective – 3
In this course, learners will develop practical programming skills across three languages — Ruby, Perl, and Python — progressing from core language fundamentals to full-stack web application development and advanced Python programming. Learners will work with Ruby’s core data structures, control flow, loops, methods, blocks, hashes, and object-oriented programming principles, applying each concept through hands-on labs. They will build dynamic web applications using Ruby on Rails, working with single models, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, and implementing authentication and authorization systems. Learners will gain foundational skills in Perl covering language syntax, control structures, arrays, operators, modules, objects, and file and database handling. The course concludes with a comprehensive Python track covering core data types, control flow, functions, lambdas, generators, closures, decorators, classes, error handling, and module imports, reinforced through an extended hands-on lab.
