Abstract
This paper presents an experience of an introductory course on Parallel Programming. The course is dedicated to parallel programming tools and environments, and in particular to the analysis, development and optimization of parallel algorithms. It has a practical orientation and is guided with the use of problems from the Spanish Parallel Programming Contest. The different units are presented in the traditional lecture format, and a practical session accompanies each unit, with problems to work with in the tools or algorithmic paradigms presented in the previous lecture. The students work in the practical sessions on problems and using the system of the contest, which facilitates online and real time validation of their implementations. The practical approach of the course and the continuous evaluation used led to an important increase in the marks.
