This course covers the fundamental principles of object-oriented, event-driven program design and implementation in a business environment. Emphasis will be placed on logic development, program design, modularity, structured programming standards, maintainability, testing and debugging. Specifically the course will include the following programming features: memory variables; object methods and properties; the logic constructs – sequence, branch, case and loops; simple arrays; basic file structures; validation and error handling. The course will be taught in a lecture and lab design where a GUI programming language will be used to reinforce the theoretical concepts taught in class. Lect: 2 hrs./Lab: 2 hrs.
