Course details

Today€™s computers are powerful tools capable of accomplishing sophisticated tasks, but not without the assistance of skilled software developers. This course introduces the learner to the magic behind computer software development, beginning with a brief history of computer languages and how these languages have evolved into powerful programming environments, and ending with the actual creation of simple algorithms. Specific topics covered include the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), best practices for developing computer programs, the tools available for software developers, and the basics of computer algorithms.
