FIT9136 Introduction to Python programming

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Use systems thinking to design and explain how a program is structured and functions, including the organisation of data, functionality, control flow, program state, scope, data relationships and execution;

2. 2

   Implement programs using sequence, selection and iteration, arrays, functions, object-based or custom types, libraries, development environments and command-line interpreters, and explain how the resulting code works;

3. 3

   Demonstrate hand execution of code to explain how the computer evaluates instructions, follows control flow, uses memory, and changes program state during execution;

4. 4

   Apply disciplined coding practices to develop, test, debug, document and improve readable, maintainable and well-structured programs;

5. 5

   Plan, monitor and reflect on your learning with focus, care and attention to detail, using AI-enabled learning tools responsibly to support understanding, check explanations, strengthen terminology, and build independent programming capability;

6. 6

   Apply software engineering principles, such as maintainability, modularity and readability when writing and reading code and documentation. Understand how to use Object Oriented Programming techniques to organise and structure code.
