Unit Overview
Irrespective of framework or delivery platform, the development of procedural code is still at the core of many commercial applications development projects. Event driven systems and object oriented platforms all use procedural code for the critical command content of their objects, events and listeners.
This unit enables learners to become familiar with the underpinning concepts of procedural programming and subsequently to develop particular skills in a procedural programming language. The unit starts by looking at the features of procedural programming, explores the tools and techniques used in their development and takes learners through design and program development. Learners will use a structured approach to the design and development of applications, ensuring the solution is well documented and thoroughly tested against the original user requirement. Procedural programming will be delivered using Python version 3 as the main programing language.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit a learner should:
- Understand the features of procedural programming
- Be able to use the tools and techniques of a procedural language
- Be able to design procedural applications
- Be able to implement procedural applications.
