Computer Systems
COMP 1409 - Introduction to Software Development 1

This hands-on course is designed for those with no previous programming experience and is also appropriate for experienced developers who want to learn modern object-oriented (OO) languages such as Java and C#. Using an "objects first" approach, students receive an intensive introduction to object-oriented programming. Topics include classes and objects and their relationship, primitive data types, constructors, methods, repetition and selection, collections, abstraction and modularization. Upon successful completion, participants will have a basic understanding of programming concepts and objects, and be prepared to move on to higher level OO programming language courses. Prerequisite: COMP 1002 or equivalent knowledge. (3 Credits)
