MMDI 131 - Introduction to Interactive Programming

3 credits

This course is an introductory programming class, appropriate for students with no prior programming experience. Traditionally, introductory programming teaches algorithmic problem-solving, where a sequence of instructions describe the steps necessary to achieve a desired result. In this course, students are trained to go beyond this sequential thinking - to think concurrently and modularly. By its end, students are empowered to write and read code for event-driven graphical user interfaces, client server chat programs, networked video games, and user interfaces.
