CSC (0145) 500 - Computer Programming Bootcamp

Credits: 4.00

After completing this course, students without prior knowledge of computer programming will be able to write, read and debug simple interactive computer programs. Students will blend programming methods and techniques that are grounded in solid software engineering principles.

Free Note: This course is offered in an intensive bootcamp-style online format. Expect homework in addition to lecture and lab.

Course Learning Goals:

Students will be able to:
(requirements) Analyze problem statements and identify functional requirements.
(design) Design software-based solutions to problems that implement functional requirements.
(implementation) Write interactive computer programs given specifications derived from designs using stepwise refinement.
(analysis) Read interactive computer programs written by others and identify their purpose.
(execution tracing) Trace computer programs to predict their execution flow.
(debugging) Analyze interactive computer programs to identify problems and suggest solutions to address issues.
(testing) Test programs to determine if they work correctly.
(documentation) Read and write documentation that describes computer programs.
