Introduction to Programming

You may have used various software applications without ever really considering the question of how the applications were built. Understanding the concepts that lie behind the development of a software application allows you to handle the application with ease. This course introduces you to the general programming concepts, the various phases that occur in a software development process and examining the concepts underlying the object-oriented programming model.

Learning Objectives

• You will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of programming such as the programming process and the software development cycle that help you to understand the development process of applications.
• You will also experiment with a few programming techniques such as branching and looping to create small programs using the Visual Basic .NET 2005 application as the platform.
• You will examine the principles of object-oriented programming.
