Workshop “Business Programming” - Critical Factors from Zero to Portable GUI Programming in 4 Hours

Activity: Talk or presentationScience to science

Description

At the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, Bachelor students can learn programming from scratch and are thus able to create portable GUI programs for Windows, MacOS and Linux in just one semester. This is possible within 60 hours (4 hours per week) of class attendance ("contact hours") and a total learning load of 200 hours, which corresponds to 8 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) points. Several critical success factors make this possible, including the course objectives, the course structure, the pedagogical principles, and finally the programming language used.

This workshop shares experiences and insights from a 35-year evolution of the programming class. Attendees will be able to understand key aspects of the course that they can apply to their own teaching. In addition, in the spirit of open education, all slides and nutshell examples are freely available and will be presented briefly such that attendees can adapt them for their own courses.
