COMP 110-001, Introduction to ProgrammingAnnouncements
Course Description
This course is an introduction to programming for students with little or no programming experience. There are two primary goals: to learn fundamental programming skills and to learn systematic and logical thinking. Basic programming concepts include: variables, loops, conditionals, arrays, functions, and classes. Basic problem solving approaches include: abstraction, division into sequential pieces, and division into layers. All code is written in the Java programming language.
This material will be learned through a combination of reading assignments, analysis assignments and program writing. One objective of the course is to further develop your programming skill. There will be 6 - 7 programming assignments. The Friday meetings of this course will usually, but not always, be labs. Bring your laptop on Fridays unless otherwise instructed. Attendance at labs is required.
