Course: Introduction to Programming

In this course, students will learn the basics of computer programming using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and the Visual C# and Visual Basic programming languages. The course assumes no prior programming experience and introduces the concepts needed to advance to the intermediate programming courses, such as Programming in C#.

The focus will be on basic programming concepts such as computer storage, data types, decision structures, and iteration through the use of loops. The course also covers an introduction to object-oriented programming, covering classes, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Coverage is also included on exception handling, application security, performance, and memory management.

Module 3: Program Flow

This module covers how code is executed in a computer program, such as top-down in structured programming and branching in code execution. The module teaches these concepts using functions, decision structures, and loop constructs.

Lessons

  • Introduction to structured programming concepts
  • Introduction to branching
  • Using functions
  • Using decision structures
  • Introduction to repetition

Lab 1: Creating Functions, Decisions, and Loops

  • Describe structured programming.
  • Create and use functions in your code
  • Create and use decision structures.
  • Create and use loop structures
After completing this module, students will be able to:
  • Describe structured programming.
  • Create and use functions in your code
  • Create and use decision structures.
  • Create and use loop structures

Module 4: Algorithms and Data Structures

This module introduces the concept of an algorithm by outlining all the necessary steps, including the decisions that must be made as the routine progresses. The module also discusses how to translate this set of steps into pseudocode to evaluate the algorithm that will be translated into real code.

Lessons

  • Understanding how to write pseudocode
  • Examples of algorithms
  • Introduction to data structures

Lab 1: Working with algorithms and data structures

  • Transferring problem statements to pseudocode
  • Create algorithms
  • Translate pseudocode into programming code
  • Create simple algorithms in code
  • Create data structures to store data.

Module 5: Error Handling and Debugging

This module helps students understand that errors are part of programming and that they should understand how to anticipate errors, handle those errors in code, and provide a good user experience. This module introduces structured exception handling as a mechanism for handling errors.

Lessons

  • Introduction to program errors
  • Introduction to structured error handling
  • Introduction to debugging

Lab 1: Implementing Debugging and Error Handling

  • Implement structured exception handling
  • Debugging Applications with Visual Studio 2022

Module 6: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

This module covers an introduction to concepts related to object-oriented programming (OOP). The content has been divided into two modules; this module focuses on basic OOP concepts that will provide sufficient knowledge to understand complex data structures, starting with structures and then moving on to classes. This module helps students understand how to encapsulate data and related functionality within a class.

Lessons

  • Introduction to Complex Structures

Module 7: More object-oriented programming

This module teaches students about inheritance and polymorphism in classes and function overloading. Function overloading and polymorphism often go hand in hand, such as when you inherit from a class or when you want to override or change existing behavior to suit the needs of your class.

The module also introduces the .NET base class library so students can begin to think about the existence of functionality in other class files and how they can search .NET libraries to find and leverage this functionality.
