27/10 9-11am Introduction to skeleton programming frameworks. Attention: students attending the course should write a message to the prof. with Subject: PHI SPM ACCOUNT, containing in the body Name, Family Name, Matricola (Enrollement No.) and either MCSN or CS depending whether they registered to the COmputer Science and Networking or to the Computer Science Master degree.
