Outline
This is not a stand-alone course but a collection of background
programming skills that a student should have in order to understand the
courses to follow. Students should be acquainted with at least two
computer programming languages, a declarative (such as PROLOG or LISP)
and a procedural/script one (such as C, JAVA, PERL or MATLAB). In the
following, typical minimum contents for these languages are presented.
The choice of the particular languages was made having in mind the
particular skills of a speech/language engineer. However, the choice is
not limited to these languages only.
