Programming Fundamentals I
About This Course
Students will be able to apply computational thinking methods to decompose, abstract, identify patterns to problems and assemble a series of computer instructions that solves a problem programmatically. Students will be able to explain and write computer instructions that employ the use of variables, input and output statements, decision making constructs, repetition constructs and functions. They willals o learn to test and debug computer programs to ensure that programs perform as they are intended to.
What You'll Learn
This module introduces students to computational thinking for programming prob
lem solving and the fundamental concepts and constructs in computer programming which are applicable to most programming languages.
