ITS 1801 - Introduction to Scripting
The terms scripting or coding refer to the process of creating small computer programs or “scripts” in a less formal context than traditional computer programming. Scripts are typically used in various data analysis systems, the creation of simple web and mobile applications, the automation of repetitive computer tasks, and the creation of graphics and animations.
This course is designed for students with little or no scripting experience. The process of breaking down a problem into steps that can be automated is introduced. Students work in a drag-and-drop scripting environment to practice this process before moving to the python scripting language. Throughout the course students focus on creating useful solutions across a a number of disciplines.
