Course Description
This is the introductory course for computer science at UNSW.
This course consists of three strands: programming, systems, and general computer-science literacy.
The programming strand is further divided into two parts. For the first half of the course we cover small scale programming, in the second half we look at how to effectively use teams to produce more substantial software.
In the systems strand we will look at how computers work. Concentrating on microprocessors, memory, and machine code.
