Course overview:
Course overview:
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 concepts developed in the Preliminary Course and asks students to develop and document software using a variety of data structures and language facilities. Through this course students will learn to solve a number of interesting and relevant software problems.
