COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is an introductory course in programming which aims to develop skills and concepts that are essential to good programming practice and problem
solving. It covers fundamental programming concepts of primitive data types, arrays, simple I/O, conditional statements, iterative structures and functions
using command line interface. It also includes the use of testing and debugging techniques. Fundamental to the software development practice is the
ability to develop programs that uses appropriate constructs aside from achieving desired results to solve computing problems. This course also serves as
a preparation for intermediate programming.

At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to make judicious choices of programming constructs to solve computing problems using
appropriate coding standards.
