Introduction to Computing (CSEE-1101)

Recommended Book(s)

Beginning C++, The Complete Language, By Ivor Horton, Wrox Publishers.
How To Program In C++, Dietel And Dietel.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To introduce students to the basic concepts of computer programming. At the end of the term, the students are expected to be fairly proficient in computer programming using imperative paradigm. The focus of the course will be on general programming principles/techniques, whereas C++ will be the language to implement these concepts. Key procedural programming topics like variables, arrays, strings, functions, pointers / references will be covered in detail. An elementary level introduction will be provided towards object-oriented programming principles.
