Software Development I Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Software Development I introduces students to the foundational concepts and practices essential for designing, coding, testing, and debugging software applications. Emphasizing structured programming principles and object-oriented methodologies, this course covers core topics such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, arrays, and basic input/output operations. Students also gain hands-on experience with version control systems and development tools while working on individual and collaborative projects. By the end of the course, learners will have built a solid understanding of software development life cycles and be prepared for more advanced study in programming and systems design.
