Modern software development comprises a multi-billion dollar industry, where problem-solving skills along with a solid understanding of programming techniques and practices are vital for producing high quality software. This unit provides foundation knowledge for the study of computer science, introducing techniques for computer program development, using a high-level programming language. This unit will place emphasis on a structured approach for solving complex problems by developing and implementing algorithms that break them down into their component tasks and procedures. Learning is re-enforced throughout the unit through practical exercises and assignments that challenge students with interesting problems. The unit also includes material throughout designed to introduce students to the social implications, ethics and professional practice in information technology. Through this unit, students will gain experience using UNIX-type operating systems for developing and debugging computer programs.
Topics include: control structures; data types; algorithm design and analysis; basic hardware components; a user view of operating system.
