Practical Programming #86

Closed pritchardn closed 4 years ago

pritchardn commented 5 years ago

The refinement of previous course. Possible additions include a programming paradigms component

gozzarda commented 5 years ago

Just had a look through the three sessions we ran last year, and the first two look fine.

I have decided to change up the third session though, as we currently use Hello World as the first example program for tradition reasons, and it is bad, so we shouldn't.

A fourth session on programming paradigms is probably very much worthwhile. Should cover:

Imperative vs Declarative
Object Oriented Programming (that is, what we call OOP nowadays)
Message Oriented Programming (what OOP actually is, before it got corrupted)
Functional Programming

Having then covered OOP would be useful if we want to do a Python or C++ course.
