Data Processing H A
Prerequisite: Data Processing Concepts
or Equivalent.
This course will interest you if you
would like more information about Data
Processing and/or if you are thinking
of enrolling in a programming course
but aren't sure which programming
Ianguage'best suits your requirements.
You will ,have an opportunity to take a
more in-depth look at activities within a
data processing department. Micro,
mini and mainframe computers, data
communications and current computer
applications are topics which you will
examine. You will be exposed to a
computer text editor and introduced to
programming languages such as RPG
and COBOL. You will be using the
computer terminal to become familiar
with these languages.

Computer Programming With
BASIC Language 1. A
Prerequisite: Data Processing Concepts
or Equivalent.
You will learn to program a computer
using the Basic Programming Lan-
guage. You will be able to create, alter,
and run a program of medium complex-
ity using many ,of the more simple
commands. Hands-on experience is
gained through the use of microcom-
puters. A minimum of twelve hours is
provided during class hours and stu-
dents may have access to machines at
specified times outside of class. A more
advanced course is available in Com-
puter Programming With BASIC Lan-
guage 11.

Computer Programming With
BASIC Language 11 A
Prerequisite: Computer Programming
With BASIC Language I or Equivalent.
Persons who have not completed Com-
puter Programming With BASIC Lan-
guage I may be required by the teacher
to demonstrate that they have the
prerequisite knowledge to be success-
ful in Computer Programming With
BASIC Language II.
This course is intended to continue
where Computer Programming With
BASIC Language I leaves off. Emphasis
is on Program structure and technique.
You will be exposed to more advanced
topics including elementary knowledge
of files and matrices. Hands-on experi-
ence is gained through the use of
microcomputers. A minimum of 24
hours is provided during class hours
and students 'may have access to
machines at times specified outside of

Computer Programming With
,BASIC Language III ' A
You will use the computer in, a useful
simulation of a real-world task. For
example, advanced programming tech-
niques will be used to produce a
system of integrated programs which
perform' the operations of , a basic
inventory system.. Upon successful
completion of the course you will be
able to write, debug and demonstrate
the use of a system of programs based
on concepts studied.
