SE 2040 - Software Development III

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces students to the C/C++ programming language in order to give them a working knowledge of the language as well as broader experience with system programming languages. In addition, students are introduced to two additional programming language paradigms to which they had not yet been introduced to previously: scripting languages and functional programming languages, in order to give them awareness of alternate programming approaches and when best to employ the various approaches. (prereq: CS 2852  )
