— Intro to Programming&Scripting

Catalog description

This course introduces students to basic programming languages and their inherent logic structures (variable types, variable declaration and assignment, looping and branching structures). The students will develop an understanding for local and global variables and will select the correct looping and branching structures and apply them as needed. Programming languages such as Visual Basic and Python may be used for this purpose. This will allow for the introduction of Structured Programming with Pseudo Code as well as Object Driven Programming (On Click). The students will also learn how to automate repetitive tasks within Computer Operating Systems through the use of Shell Scripts in Linux and the Power Shell in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
