Software development is a collaborative undertaking that requires the integration of different technologies to build solutions that are elegant and intuitive.
This subject introduces students to the fundamentals of how software is produced. They will develop a strong understanding of how data is represented and manipulated within a computer system by solving problems in a series of collaborative software development tasks. Students will build interactive software in a high-level programming language and apply the skills needed to effectively communicate design choices.
All assessment tasks must be attempted in order to pass the unit. Final Examination: 2 hrs 15 mins duration. It is mandatory to pass the Final Examination in order to pass this unit. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1-5 UNE manages supervised exams associated with your UNE subjects. Prior to census date, UNE releases exam timetables. They’ll email important exam information directly to your UNE email address.
