This course is designed to give students a strong introduction to computer programming, with an emphasis on their developing their own projects by the end of the semester. By the end of the course successful students will be able to write programs of moderate difficulty. While Unity is a platform commonly used to develop computer games, students will be able to develop any type of program. As a course that can provide a strong foundation for further computer science courses, this class will expose students to input/output operations, if-else structures, loops, functions, objects, and classes. No prior programming experience is necessary.
