CSE 002: Fundamentals of Programming

Software is transforming the world, and programming is becoming an essential part of many emerging careers. 70 percent of all new jobs across all STEM fields will be in computer science. Some of these careers involve full time programming, but many more require a facility with software systems or part time programming. This class is an introduction to programming designed especially for people who use computers, but have no programming experience. Using the Java programming language, we introduce students to the basics of software development, software problem solving, and, crucially, to the process of debugging.
