The material of the textbook is aimed at obtaining competencies in the field of Internet technologies. In a simple and accessible language, the theoretical foundations of Internet technologies are described, the study of which will help to eliminate gaps in knowledge on the current type of activity of almost every person. The seven workshops given in the manual will provide an opportunity to acquire skills and competencies that are in demand in the labor market and necessary for the implementation of professional and daily tasks. Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students and teachers of higher education and people interested in developing their key competencies in the field of information and communication technologies.

This tutorial covers the basics of algorithmization and programming in Microsoft Visual Basic. Contains a description of such traditional material necessary for learning the basics of algorithmization as the operation of linear, branching, and cyclic structures, processing one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays, programming using functions and procedures, string processing, and so on. We discuss the data types used in VB, review the main controls of the programming environment, and pay attention to data input and output methods. It also describes how to work with graphics based on the GDI+interface. Meets the requirements of the Federal state educational standards of secondary professional education of the latest generation. It can be used by students and teachers of secondary professional and higher educational institutions.

The article deals with one of the methods of overcoming the low quality level of training of former students, and now fi rst-year students, in the field of information technology through targeted training in programming languages with the help of practice-oriented projects. The implementation of the main didactic units in the form of a single project contributes to the development of pupils’ competences in searching, storing and processing information, forming and developing a creative approach to solving the set task. The article gives examples to illustrate the practical component of the work performed on the technology described in the article. The considered algorithm of the project method is successfully used by the author in the process of teaching disciplines in the fi eld of “Automation of technological processes and production”, “Management in technical systems” at the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, it can be also used in teaching high school students in the classroom of Informatics.

The article presents the experience of developing a mobile application for learning a foreign language. The relevance of this work is due to the need to use auxiliary tools in the educational process in the context of distance learning, as well as the relatively low efficiency of existing applications. A description of the main stages in the development of the program is given, in particular, a comparative analysis of existing solutions is carried out, various approaches to learning the language are considered, and the main functional characteristics of the developed application are listed. The data of the experiment to determine the level of knowledge of users of the developed application are presented.

The textbook covers the theoretical and practical foundations of the computer science course. The content of the book, examples and tasks are aimed at training a specialist with a modern set of competencies in the field of computer science and information and communication technologies. The textbook has an applied orientation and meets the requirements of the Federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students of higher educational institutions studying undergraduate programs, it will also be useful for students of secondary vocational education institutions, teachers, and people who want to study computer science independently.
