Technical level of the course

This is not a beginning programming course. The official prerequisite for this course is a course in programming fundamentals using either C++ or Python.Those courses use C++ or Python strictly as procedural programming languages. The courses are currentlytaught using very simple IDEs.

I will assume...

I will assume that students in this course already know how to program using either C++ or Python as a procedural programming language and that they alreadyunderstand such fundamental concepts as programming logic, functions, parameter passing, etc.

I will also assume...

At the same time I will also assume that the students in this course know very little if anything about the following topics:

  • The use of a complex IDE.
  • The use of any programming language other than either Python or C++ solely as a procedural programming language.
  • Object-oriented programming.
  • Pointers or any other form of indirection.
  • Large-scale programming documentation.

These are all topics that will be important in learning how to make effective use of the Microsoft XNA Game Studio software.

What is C#?

According to Wikipedia,

"C# (pronounced "see sharp") is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing imperative, functional, generic,object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by Microsoft within the .NET initiative and later approved as astandard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure."

"C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.[3]Its development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg, the designer of Borland's Turbo Pascal, who has saidthat its object-oriented syntax is based on C++ and other languages.[4] JamesGosling, who created the Java programming language in 1994, called it an 'imitation' of that language.[5]The most recent version is C# 3.0, which was released in conjunction with the .NET Framework 3.5 in 2007. The next proposedversion, 4.0, is in development."

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
