Course Description

Formerly: C++ Programming. This course introduces the fundamentals of software development using the C++ programming language. Software development process will include: designing, writing source code, compiling, linking, executing, and debugging. Data types, arithmetic and logical expressions, debugging, looping, branching, modularization, static and dynamic memory allocation, classes and objects will be presented in lectures and practiced through lab projects. Console applications will be designed and implemented. ADVISORY: CS G102 and course taught at the level of intermediate algebra or appropriate math placement. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: COMP 122. C-ID: COMP 122.

Reading Assignments

Textbook and Websites

Writing Assignments

Students will be required to complete software development projects presented to them in the form of business automation problems requiring solution implementation. Students will be required to write documentation for their projects.

Out-of-class Assignments

An optional library research paper will promote further study and research in current Windows Programming or other related topics selected by the student and approved by the instructor.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Students will analyze requirements and select the appropriate programming structures for an efficient solution implementation. Testing and debugging will require students to perform data tracing and error isolation during program execution.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration
