COSC 108 - Introduction to Programming via Alice

Class Hours: 3
Lab/Discussion: 0
Credits: 3

An introduction to the development of algorithmic solutions to a variety of problems and the development of computer programs to implement the solutions. The Alice programming language and interactive development environment is incorporated to introduce fundamental algorithmic/programming concepts including variables, assignments, conditionals, loops, functions, and arrays through an interactive movie animation paradigm. These concepts are then applied to a standard programming language. Includes an introduction to the Java programming language. (May not receive credit for both COSC 108 and COSC 110.)
