This hands-on intermediate level course replaced COMP 1451 as of January 2021 and follows on from COMP 1516 - Programming Fundamentals with Python. Students who already understand how to write simple programs will now focus on the best practices and use problem solving to build fundamental skills in software development. This is a BYOD (bring your own device) course, participants must provide their own current model PC with an i5 or higher equivalent processor, 8 GB of RAM minimum, 256 GB minimum storage and high-speed internet access. COMP 2501 is the second-level programming fundamentals course required for the Applied Software Development, ASD Associate Certificate and the Computer Systems Certificate, CSC. Participation is mandatory and students can expect a minimum of 3 hours per week online in real time via the BCIT Learning Hub plus using two-way audio and video. Attendance is required during scheduled class hours and students should also plan for an additional 10+ hours homework per week in most weeks. Participants are introduced to application programming interfaces (APIs) and how to transition from Python to Java. COMP 2501 is not a Java development course, it is the second step in an in-depth study of applied programming fundamentals. 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. Upon successful completion students will be able to write robust programs and be prepared to move on to the next level; COMP 2511- Procedural Programming with C and or COMP 2601- Programming Fundamentals Part 3 (Objects).
