ITS 2801 - Scripting Projects
The terms scripting or coding refer to the process of creating small computer programs or “scripts” in a less formal context than traditional computer programming. Scripts are typically used in various data analysis systems, the creation of simple web and mobile applications, the automation of repetitive computer tasks, and the creation of graphics and animations. This course is designed for students who have some prior experience with scripting. Students without this experience should take ITS 1801 first. In this course, python is used to develop solutions to practical problems across various disciplines. Throughout the course, best practices for code version management using git are introduced. In the second half of the semester, students have the option to expand beyond python to learn scripting in either bash or PowerShell.
