Computer Programming

Overview

This is an introductory course to a holistic approach to computer science. Fundamental programming concepts including but not limited to arrays, pointers, structs etc. will be discovered through the C programming language. The course requires that students use a command line environment when programming. Hence, having an understanding about concepts such as Linux, telnet, vi editor etc. will prove to be essential.
