This is an essential first course for Information Technology majors. Students will be able to design and develop a running application from a problem statement. It will introduce the fundamentals of computer programming, covering the basic computer science vocabulary and topics such as algorithm design, use of textual and graphical tools to model the algorithms, user interfaces, data validation techniques, integrated development environments (IDEs), programming debugging and testing, use of library functions, application programmer interfaces (APIs), and an introduction to object-oriented programming. A high-level programming language will be introduced to validate the algorithm.
