Explores the main features of modern, high-level, general-purpose programming languages from the user (programmer) standpoint. Students learn how specific features of programming languages can be used effectively in solving programming problems. The course is also an opportunity to use paradigms that expand on simple imperative programming, such as object-oriented, functional and concurrent programming. Students are expected to have background in operating systems fundamentals and Computer organization, and some knowledge of Java.

This course examines the historic, theoretical, and applied foundations of community development lending and investment.
