It will involve both a theoretical component (e.g. learning about basic programming concepts like loops, arrays and functions) as well as a practical component (e.g. implementing simple algorithms in a computer laboratory). The course also provides a first step towards learning the principles of object-oriented design and programming through the use of the Java programming language.<\/p>\n<p>The course is suitable for students with no prior programming experience. It is particularly targeted at IS students as it relates to a number of core concepts that are essential in understanding the technologies behind information systems in business without getting overmuch into low-level technical details.<\/p>\n<p>All students taking INFS1609 and INFS2609 should ensure they have read the <a title=\"Course Outline\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/infs1609\/course-outline\/\">Course Outline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This course introduces you to the foundations of the programming discipline, which underlies most technical subjects such as software design, data management and algorithms.
