Module
AC11001 Introduction to Software Development
Coordinator
Dr Iain Martin
Toggle Module Description
"The best way to learn how to design good software is to think about the people who will be using it first, then to practice designing good software for those people" Applied Computing is about the design and implementation of original and imaginative solutions to meet the needs of the people who will be using it, and about communicating these solutions in a professional way. AC11001 and the follow-on module AC12001 aim to provide you with the basic skills required to produce these solutions and to communicate the results effectively and professionally. They do this by providing you with extensive hands-on experience of problem solving within an Applied Computing context, using a set of carefully designed and enjoyable scenarios. You will also have the opportunity to report on these solutions in a variety of ways (e.g. presentations, reports). These skills are then further refined and enhanced in AC12001, and in the second year Computing courses.
