一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>The main ob<x>jective of this introductory course is to help students develop 
<br>programming skills to solve problems. As computers are becoming more powerful 
<br>and ubiquitous, proper use of computers can increase productivity significantly. 
<br>Thus, the ability to write efficient programs to solve problems improves one’s 
<br>core competence and can be an important differentiator for one’s career. Among 
<br>today’s popular programming languages, C is found to have the biggest impacts. 
<br>Many modern computer languages borrowed heavily from C. Thus, proficiency in C 
<br>language would pave ways to good programming in other languages. In this course,
<br>
<br>we will devote most of the time in C programming. ob<x>ject-oriented programming 
<br>and classes, however, will also be briefly introduced.
