This course is an introduction to computer programming and problem solving techniques. Stresses modularity and structured techniques. Structured program design using design tools is heavily stressed. Programming structures including looping, sequence, and decision are thoroughly examined. Students will be exposed to the BASIC programming language with an overview of the language and specific implementation examples.
This course focuses on intermediate computer program design and development using structured techniques. Includes small project development. Stresses modularity, program design, implementation, and testing. Object oriented programming/object oriented design (OOP/OOD) techniques will be utilized.
