Course Description
The first course of a two-semester sequence in basic programming. Currently
it is offered in C++. Programming is giving instructions to computers so they
can do what you want them to do. You will learn the basics of programming,
including basic data structures, data and procedure abstraction, and problemsolving strategies. These will give you the basic tool to start. You will learn
through a combination of efforts: attending lectures, reading the textbook,
doing programming exercises and written homeworks. It is a very hands-on
course and you are expected to get a lot of programming exercises. Have fun!
