School of Computing and Academic Studies
To support you and your education, BCIT is adapting applied learning in formats appropriate to the unfolding global situation. All PTS classes are being delivered in an online format unless you are notified otherwise.
Course Details
This hands-on intermediate level course assumes prior knowledge of programming as taught in COMP 1451 and COMP 2526. Students who have a solid understanding of programming concepts are introduced to procedural programming with C. COMP 2511 is BYOD course, participants must provide their own Windows 10 dual core laptop with a minimum of 8GB RAM and high speed internet in order to participate in this course. Topics include language syntax, common coding styles and idioms and the implementation of selected data structures and algorithms in C. Lectures and code examples are reinforced with hands-on labs, and assignments. This course has two classes per week over ten weeks and uses the BCIT Learning Hub for quizzes, discussion boards, labs and assignments. COMP 2511 is equivalent to COMP 2510 in CST Full-time. Upon completion, C Programming students will have improved their application development abilities in other programming languages, as the C syntax is the basis for Java, C# and C++. COMP 2511 is an elective in the Applied Software Development, ASD Associate Certificate and is required in the Computer Systems Certificate, CSC. Successful will be able to design, build and deploy modular multi-file C programs to industry standards.
