Disgrifiad cryno

This module will teach the basics of programming and the fundamental concepts of computational logic, providing the theoretical and practical skills required to work with existing agritech software systems and opensource technologies.

Cynnwys

The module will provide a series of units focused on:
• Fundamental programming concepts
• Reusable code: control statements and functions
• Writing and running code
• Understanding the interpreter and error messages
• Storing and interacting with agritech data
The module will deliver the content through a series of recorded lectures and supporting materials. The students will be given a reading list of 'essential' and 'recommended' articles and books and expected to interact through forums with other students. The module will contain assessments which will encourage students to apply computational thinking and programming techniques to real-world scenarios.
