  1. Foundation Programming Introduction

  2. Aims • This course aims to give students a basic understanding of computer programming. • On completing this course students should have the necessary skills to be able to design, build and test a small system in a high-level language (processing).

  3. Learning outcomes On completion of this course, students should be able to: • To understand basic programming concepts and constructs such as strings numbers, assignments, sequential and selective executions, loops and functions. • Write short programs that use the fundamental program constructs including standard conditional and iterative control structures. • Write simple graphics programs involving the drawing of basic shapes. • Write basic animation programs.

  4. Syllabus • Writing and running a program • Statements • Drawing programs • Variables • Fundamental data types • Animation in software • Interactive Programs • Callbacks • Functions • Conditionals • Loops • Arrays • Programs using images, audio and video media

  5. Teaching • 2 hours lecture on Friday • 2 hours lab on Monday

  6. Assessment • Term 1 • 1 assignment 20 % • 5 small challenges worth 1% each • Term 2 • 1 assignment 20 % • 5 small challenges worth 1% each • Examination (50%) written examination

  7. Language - Processing • The Processing Language was designed to facilitate the creation of sophisticated visual structures. • Processing reference page is on http://processing.org/reference/
