IntroductionCOMP 1010, or Introductory Computer Science 1 is the introductory programming course offered at the University of Manitoba. It is a prerequisite for further studies in Computer Science, Engineering, and some fields of Mathematics. You will learn fundamental programming concepts such as: control statements, for-loops and arrays, how to write a program using Java, and how to set up a computer to run your program. The purpose of this course is to help students that do not have any programming experience to get started in writing computer programs. Hence, no computer programming knowledge is required prior taking this course. If you have taken Computer Science classes in high school, you may have already been exposed to some of the topics presented in this course. |
