Course description
Overview: This course introduces you to general programming concepts. Although the programming
concepts introduced in this course apply to most programming languages, this course uses Visual Basic
6.0 running under Microsoft Windows as the platform for learning.
Prerequisites:
Windows 95: Introduction.
Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured handson activities and independent lab activities. Benefits: Students will learn general programming concepts that provide a basis for programming in many different languages. Target student: The target student is interested in learning general programming concepts. This course provides a foundation for students desiring to go on and learn one or more programming languages. What’s next: Any of Element K's introductory courses on programming languages would be a good course to take after this one. For example, students wishing to learn more about Visual Basic programming could take
Visual Basic 6.0: Introduction (Windows 95).
Performance-based objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to
evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
•
Describe features and benefits of prevalent programming languages, and describe the general
phases of software development, including: planning, coding, compiling, linking, and debugging.
•
Define the following terms related to object-oriented programming: objects, encapsulation,
classes, instantiation, properties, methods, and events.
•
Identify and describe the purpose of literals, operators, and functions.
•
Use variables and constants to write programs that perform calculations.
•
Explain the purpose and general functionality provided by conditional statements, relational
operators, and logical operators.
•
Explain the purpose and general functionality provided by Do While and For Next loops.
•
Explain the benefits of dividing large programming tasks into smaller tasks.
•
Identify the scope of variables within a given program.
