Introduction
Students will learn to use a high level programming language to write programs which solve problems defined by a program specification. They will master fundamental concepts relating to imperative object-based programming and are introduced to concepts relating to graphical user interfaces and event driven programs. Students are required to demonstrate syntactic, conceptual and strategic knowledge of the programming constructs introduced in the unit. They are expected to use systematic processes to plan, document, debug and test their programs. Programming exercises are introduced in the context of small problems.
