    Introduction to computer programming for windows. Emphasis on the fundamentals of structured design, development, testing, implementation, and documentation. Includes language syntax, data and file structures, input/output devices, files and databases. The course will also emphasize object-oriented programming with encapsulation (creating classes and instances), inheritance (defining classes the inherit data and/or methods from existing classes) and polymorphism (overriding base-class methods in derived classes).

    Course Rationale: 

    This is an intermediate programming course using the Visual Basic language. It assumes prior programming experience. This course will prepare students for ITSE 2349/BCIS 2332 (Advanced Visual Basic Programming.NET). This is an optional course in the Local Area Network Administration and Microcomputer Applications Support AAS degrees, and in the Local Area Network Administration and Database Certificates.

     

     Prerequisite(s):  One semester of programming or department approval.
