Preamble and Outcomes

Preamble

This course provides the foundations of programming. Apart from the usual mechanics of a typical programming language, the principles and methods will form the main focus of this course. Shift from learn to program to programming to learn forms the core of this course.

Prerequisite(s) : 19CSEXXX Problem Solving and Algorithmic Thinking
