The Computer Programming Foundations certificate provides students with the solid foundation that’s necessary to succeed in computer programming, either on the job or after they’ve transferred to a four-year college/university. Students master fundamental computer programming topics, such as control structures, functions and procedural programming, object- oriented programming, sorting and searching algorithms, recursion, abstract data types (e.g., stacks and queues), linked lists, and binary trees.
