Semester: First
ii. Course Introduction and Description
This course is titled Information & Communication Technology (OTM 113) and is designed to introduce the student to the concept of computer programming and features of a good computer program. On completion of this course, you should be able to explain the features of a good program and concept of Algorithms and flowcharting. You will also learn the principles of designing algorithms for common programming problem. General modular program design principles and procedure in solving programming problems were also discussed in details. The course further explains the various levels of programming language and concept of debugging and maintaining program. And finally, good programming practices and concept of object-oriented programming was explained.
