Scripting

This is the third of a four-course programming sequence. This course reinforces everything learned about programming in Introduction of Computer Science and employs these concepts using scripting languages that are commonly used in web development as well as to implement macros in spreadsheets. This course further explores the difference between compiled languages, that are most frequently used in application development, and interpreted languages, that are most frequently used in web applications. It continues exploring proper use of computer science jargon while developing and implementing algorithms that solve problems. In addition, this course explores version control as part of maintaining an online repository. Upon entering this course, it is assumed students understand the theory and implementation of the basic computer programming techniques as well as being able to utilize basic problem solving techniques to create algorithms. Students should know the meaning of current jargon. Students should also know how to create and maintain an online program repository.The specific programming tool and IDE is at the discretion of the instructor. Prerequisite: CS 1000 or IT 2100.Pre- or Corequisite: CS 2210.
