Fundamentals Of Programming With Algorithms And Logic –
it210
(3 credits)
This course provides students with a basic understanding of programming practices. Concepts covered include flowcharting, pseudocode methodologies, and an understanding of programming practices. Students will learn how these concepts, when properly applied, improve program design.
This undergraduate-level course is 9
weeks.
To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
-
Introduction to Software Development

- Describe a simple object-oriented program.
- Recognize the difference between object-oriented and structured program design.
-
Requirement Specifications, Design Specifications, and Processing Models
- Create requirement specifications, design specifications, and processing models (including input/out tables, data flow models, and procedural processing).
