Object Orientation and General technical topics

Analysing a Programming Task - Object Orientation and General technical topics module Q904

A module for newcomers to programming, no matter what language they're learning. A "Hello World" program may be easy to understand, but once you get variables, expressions, loops and conditionals involved too, perhaps nested inside one another, it's another matter. This module introduces some basic design ideas such as flowcharting, and shows you how to convert a flowchart into a program.
