Programs can be written for immediate interpretation or for compilation. The language, libraries and development environments are open-source and free. Students will learn to recognize problems appropriate for computer program solutions, to determine the requirements of those solutions, and to translate those requirements into procedural programming constructs. Object-oriented programming methodology will also be covered. (4 credits)
