Visual Programming Course Outline

Course Instructor: Ms. Asma Kanwal / Mam Anoosha

Description

Visual programming languages are extensively used for the rapid development of graphical applications. This subject will introduce students to the essential principles of event-driven programming and to programming using a visual environment through the use of the Visual C# programming language.

An important thrust of the course is to teach C# programming from an object-oriented viewpoint. It is often difficult for programmers trained originally in a procedural language to start "thinking in objects."
