Brief description
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 advanced digital and media technologies.
Aims
.
Content
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 data, including media 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. They will be expected to interact through forums with other students and the course tutor. The module will contain assessments which will encourage students to apply the advanced media production techniques they learn in the module to real-world scenarios.
