Course Number COMP 1130
Course Title Programming Fundamentals
Description Programming Fundamentals teaches you how to design and develop small programs that solve different problems and implement ideas. In this class, you will discover how applications store and work with data, make decisions, and perform repetitive tasks. You will use and create functions, data structures, and objects, to represent the concepts from real life in your code. You will also use programming language libraries to develop efficient code that is easy to maintain. In the process of learning, we will emphasize testing, debugging, and scalability of your programs. (Prerequisites: COMP1120 Foundations of Computing)
