This hands-on introductory course replaces COMP 1451 as of January 2021. COMP 2501 is the second level programming fundamentals course required for all BCIT Computing PTS credentials. It was designed for students who have completed COMP 1516 - Programming Fundamentals with Python. This is a BYOD (bring your own device) course, participants must provide their own Windows 10 dual core laptop with a minimum of 8GB RAM to participate. COMP 2501 is design focused and participants add/modify relationships between classes and objects. Topics include: an overview of object-oriented programming constructs including introductions to: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and exceptions. Labs and exercises demonstrate problem solving; writing automated tests, and practicing design before implementation. There is a focus on best practices and problem solving to build skills in software development. Participants are introduced to application programming interfaces (APIs) and how to transition from Python to Java. Attendance is required during scheduled class hours. Participation is mandatory and students can expect a minimum of 3 hours per week online via the BCIT Learning Hub. Students should also plan for an additional 10+ hours reading and homework per week in most weeks. Upon successful completion of COMP 2501 students will be able to write robust programs and be prepared to move on to the next level; COMP 2511- Procedural Programming with C or COMP 2601- Programming Fundamentals Part 3 (Objects).
