This course is designed for those who have a keen interest in programming and the whole process of software design. It involves programming software solutions and a substantial theoretical component which underpins the development of quality solutions. Students are encouraged to consider the authority of the Gospel, and how technology and software solutions can be designed in service of God and his people.
The Preliminary course introduces students to the basic concepts of computer software design and development. It does this by looking at the different ways in which software can be developed, the tools that can be used to assist in this process and by considering the interaction between software and the other components of the computer system. The HSC course builds on the Preliminary course and asks students to develop and document software using a variety of data structures and language facilities. Through this they will learn to solve a number of interesting and relevant software problems.
