IT1060.10 –Computer Programming

This subject introduces the foundations of computer programming using Python, highlighting its role in modern information technology systems such as mobile applications, cloud platforms, cybersecurity, and data-driven services. Students learn to design, develop, test, and debug programs that solve practical problems while exploring algorithms through pseudocode and implementing solutions using both procedural and object-oriented programming techniques. Core concepts, including variables, control structures, functions, data collections, and objects, are applied through industry-inspired case studies that reflect real-world IT practice. By the end of the subject, students will be able to develop well-structured programming solutions and supporting documentation, demonstrating practical programming skills suitable for professional portfolios and graduate employment.
