Course unit(s): 1
This is an introductory course on program design and programming: variables, data types, program structure, conditional logic, iteration, and event-driven programming. Modular program design including introduction to procedures, functions, and modular development will be covered, as well as the project environment, compilation process, and debugging techniques. Students will learn the basic concepts of program design, programming, problem solving, and programming logic. Program development will incorporate various stages of the program development life cycle: designing a solution, implementing a solution in a programming language, and testing the completed application. Students will utilize UML structures to aid in program design and will develop several small programming projects using a modern programming language.
