This course addresses what computers are, how they work and how they are programmed, and also gives a brief history of the development of programming languages from machine languages, to assembly languages, then to high-level languages. Additionally, this course shows how to solve problems by software development method. Students will learn how to analyze the program, and to design and implement the algorithms by programming in C language.
