TOPICS: INTRO TO COMPUTER PROGRAMMING I in Fall 2024 (CS5091A)

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of programming. Starts with practical problem solving and leads to the study and analysis of simple algorithms, data types, control structures, and use of simple data structures. The course focuses on developing fundamental programming skills. The pedagogical methodology emphasizes experiential learning by asking students to solve small problems. There will be a considerable amount of practical work; students should allow at least eight hours of homework per week for this. All classes will take place in the Computer Laboratory so students will experiment and build-on all the theories and algorithms presented in class.
