Course Information

CS150 is a first course in computing and programming fundamentals. The goal of this course is to introduce you to problem solving through programming a computer. No previous computer experience of any type is required, but a deep interest in using one is. In this course, you will learn to program in C++. By the end of this course you should be able to write a program to do anything you want, given enough time and patience.
