Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr G. Hall
CSI201 - Computer Science and Information 201
This academic course builds on the CSI101 course;
It continues to extend both Programming and Database skills and the understanding of concepts in Computer Science.
This year the course:
- Extends the programming language Python by extending on the modular programming to include parameters and indexed structures.
- Introduces how database tables in a SQL database can be linked to output in a simple website using PHP language, HTML and CSS.
- Further exploration of concepts in Computer Science.
OPTIONAL
The following two Assessment Standards can be taken as an option by students who are not sitting DIT201.
- 2.4_(91903) Use advanced techniques to develop a digital media outcome
- 2.8_(91907) Use advanced processes to develop a digital technologies outcome
Students can also take the option DIT201 as this course does compliment DIT.
