Tackle the fundamentals of programming – from data structures to programming language and testing methodologies. Learn to create algorithms and use sequence, selection and iteration to solve problems.

Foundations of Programming

Experience the power of programming with an introduction to computational thinking and the fundamental concepts of programming, sensors, data and robotics. Ideal if you have not previously studied programming, or you want to broaden your scope, this subject uses visual languages, JavaScript and programmable game environments to introduce concepts quickly, enabling you to build powerful programs and creations. Using programming concepts as a foundation, you will control bots in games and robot simulations. You will also explore topics in mark-up languages (e.g. HTML), natural language processing (how machines can process human language), and asynchronous programming (how robots, agents, and devices can communicate and coordinate). The subject is designed to prepare you for the study of professional programming languages in computer science or information technology degrees.

Learn the basics of computational thinking. Cover the fundamentals of programming, sensors, data, and robotics. Start using text-based languages like JavaScript.

Modern software development is a multi-billion dollar industry, where problem-solving skills and solid understanding of programming techniques and practices are vital for producing high quality software. Building core knowledge for the study of computer science, this subject introduces you to techniques for computer program development. You will gain experience using a high-level programming language, and UNIX-type operating systems for developing and debugging computer programs. Honing skills for structured problem solving, you will develop and implement algorithms that break complex problems down into their component tasks and procedures. You will also explore the social implications, ethics and professional practice for IT. Your learning is reinforced throughout with practical exercises that challenge you with interesting problems. Topics include control structures, data types, algorithm design and analysis, basic hardware components and a user view of operating systems.

Take a structured approach to solving complex problems. Build foundation knowledge for further study of computer science. Learn to use UNIX-type operating systems to develop and debug programs. Get involved in practical exercises and assignments.

This subject is designed to provide you with hands on practical experience developing software in a project environment. You work in teams and will complete projects from inception to implementation.
This subject includes a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
As the project teams and projects will be assigned during the first week all enrolled students are advised to engage with the subject from the beginning of week 1.
Please note: This subject is considered to be a capstone subject for the Bachelor of Information Technology degree in which students demonstrate their competency in a (simulated) Work Integrated Learning (WIL) environment.
All students seeking the Bachelor of Information Technology award will need to complete this subject.

Progress a profession in programming. Get hands-on experience and work with teams developing software in a commercial project setting. Integrate formal project management methods. Track and manage project process from concept to implementation.

Programming Project

Learn to apply the principles of object-oriented software development. You’ll learn problem-solving techniques to develop solutions into a robust object-oriented program. You’ll take a hands-on approach and will learn to write a number of programs for each topic, each week. UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree. This is a third-year course from UniSA Online’s Bachelor of Information Technology degree. When studying this course as a &quot;single subject&quot;, prior knowledge from COMP 1043 or equivalent will support your success.﻿ Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device. Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.

Learn to code for large, complex and actively maintained programs. You’ll cover main OOP principles including inheritance and polymorphism. Work on programs throughout the course, test them, and debug. Document and collaborate professionally.

In an era of rapid technological innovation, data and the capacity to process it are the most valuable assets in many fields. Studying this subject, you will learn how data is represented, stored and processed in computer systems. Extending your high-level technological literacy, the subject introduces you to a way of thinking that uses abstraction to move from low level hardware concepts to higher level programming concepts. Working through the natural progression of related concepts in computer programming, you will first explore how circuits can implement logic, then how logic lets us implement computer architecture (memory, processors), and how assembly language lets us write programs that manipulate data, before circling back to the relationship between programs and logic.

Get an introductory understanding of the links between logic, reasoning, data, and computation. Learn how data is represented, stored, and processed in computer systems. 

This subject introduces the concepts of software design and development in the context of computer programming. You will learn how to design, manage, and evaluate projects that solve real-world applied technology problems through industry best practice and design methodologies. You will learn to design and build programs for applied technology using the Python language and how to apply programming practices in industry using concepts such as computational efficiency, coding best practice, interfacing, and documenting.
