MIS 3000 Programming Logic

Course Description: MIS 3000 Programming Languages and Logic addresses computer programming and problem solving in the programmer's role. Topics include algorithm development, text editors, language translation, and analysis of recent developments in programming tools. Effective documentation and use of primitive and complex data types, and logic structures such as sequence selection and iteration. A high level programming language will be used to implement algorithms.
