Students will be introduced to and learn how to code computer programs by applying the concepts of: data types, variables, functions, conditionals and loops. Students will use code to explore and analyze structured data. Students will:• Students will be able to explain the types of problems that can be solved using computational techniques, and identify problem-solving strategies that can be implemented using code• Upon completion, students will be able to explain and apply core computer coding concepts such as abstraction, variables, conditions, functions, and repetition• Students will think algorithmically and be able to design and test computer programs• Students will have mastered the basic syntax and idioms of a modern programming language• Students will be able to use technical documentation, APIs, and other sources located on the Internet to learn new technical concepts• Students will develop step by step problem solving techniques and debugging practices *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
