ITEC100: Introduction to Software Development

This unit provides a practical introduction to computer architecture, software development concepts and programming practice. It provides a foundational understanding of, and practical experience in, computer programming and in particular the design, coding, testing and debugging of algorithms, user interfaces and data storage systems using the facilities provided by a modern high-level language. Students study software development as a systematic discipline, learning about control structures and procedural abstraction, elementary data structures, abstract data types, classes and objects, stream-based input/output and graphical user interface mechanisms. Particular emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of problem solving.
