Programming Basics - Introduction

This course can be applied to the UBC Certificate in Multimedia and Web Development.

Even if you don’t intend to write programs, an understanding of the fundamentals demystifies many of the technologies you encounter in web development. This course explores a big picture view of the Internet and identifies the centres of technology where various kinds of programming take place. You look at high-level programming concepts including variables, scope, control structures, sub procedures and functions. Scripting, compiled and hybrid languages and concepts related to object-oriented programming are also discussed.
