CONTEST-LEVEL PROGRAMMING

COMPSCI 838

Advanced topics of special interest to students in various areas of Computer Science. Each offering of the course will cover a topic selected by the instructor. Credit varies by offering - check with the department to determine how an offering counts toward degree requirements.

COMPSCI 702

Apply computer sciences principles in a hands-on, professional setting.

COMPSCI 368

For students interested in learning a particular programming language. Focuses on a specific language offered at one of three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Students may repeat the course if the topic title is different.

COMPSCI 200

Learn the process of incrementally developing small (200-500 lines) programs along with the fundamental Computer Science topics. These topics include: problem abstraction and decomposition, the edit-compile-run cycle, using variables of primitive and more complex data types, conditional and loop-based flow control, basic testing and debugging techniques, how to define and call functions (methods), and IO processing techniques. Also teaches and reinforces good programming practices including the use of a consistent style, and meaningful documentation. Intended for students who have no prior programming experience.

COMPSCI 400

The third course in our programming fundamentals sequence. Covers balanced search trees, graphs, graph traversal algorithms, hash tables and sets, and complexity analysis and about classes of problems that require each data type. Involves design and implementation using high quality professional code, a medium sized program, that demonstrates knowledge and use of latest language features, tools, and conventions. Additional topics may include inheritance and polymorphism; anonymous inner classes, lambda functions, performance analysis to discover and optimize critical code blocks. Introduces industry standards for writing high-quality, maintainable code.
