ITC226 Applications Development for Windows (8)

CSU Discipline Area: Computing (COMPU)

Duration: One session

Abstract:

This subject is designed to consolidate core object-oriented programing techniques for computer science students and to allow students to implement and demonstrate these core techniques in programs using a modern Windows Graphical User Interface environment. Such skills are required and beneficial for students’ progress in software engineering and also match expectations expressed by employers. The content covers many topics needed in a second programing subject using Windows Form applications delivered using the .NET platform using the C# language.
