Course Overview

This is an advanced programming which extends the knowledge of introductory programming course and provides the student the high level of problem solving techniques needed in the study of Informatics. This is an approach to programming from the viewpoint of applications and provides students with practical experience in programming with an emphasis on commercial applications using a business oriented language. The knowledge gained allows the student to continue in the study of applied technology used in the other base courses such as database applications and infrastructure required for Minor in Informatics. This course will require a closed lab environment.

Course Description


A continuation of IM 210 for students interested in a deeper understanding of program development. New topics include arrays, file I/O, fundamentals of object-oriented programming, and development of user-defined classes, advanced GUI programming, graphics, and presentation of visual data. Reinforcement of problem-solving techniques.
Learning Outcomes

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a powerful programming language created specifically for developing SAP applications. ABAP Objects is the new object-oriented generation of this language, designed to respond to the needs of SAP's future strategies and environments. The programming language ABAP is still one of the most important programming languages in the SAP world as it transfers the business logic to the programming level. Knowing ABAP means the understanding of the business logic in SAP and it qualifies business informatics students to understand the behavior of the SAP system. Since its first release it has undergone several evolutionary stages, the latest of which is ABAP objects, issued with current Release 7.20 SAP GUI NetWeaver. ABAP Objects is the object-oriented extension of ABAP programming language. Besides, students can use this knowledge to extend SAP programs on their own to fulfil new business needs instantly.


After successfully completing this course you should be able to do and program:

       •     appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of using a commercial programming language to

solve common business problems;

       •    write programs to process the data necessary to produce reports;

       •    write programs to use internal tables;

       •    write programs that organize and process files;

       •    demonstrate knowledge of the structure and use of files;

       •    use a mini or mainframe computer system in a multi-user programming environment, and

appreciate the advantages and difficulties of such an environment;

       •    use structured programming techniques to produce solutions to a range of business problems;

       •   design and document programs using techniques such as Structure Charts and Pseudocode.

 

The curriculum includes lecture material, tests, assignments and examinations.
