Analyze, explain and use appropriately in coding: Fundamental programming concepts including:

1. Syntax and semantics
2. Objects, types, variables, expressions, and assignment
3. Branching control structures
4. Explicit loops, both definite and indefinite
5. Functions, parameter passing, user-defined functions
6. Input and output, to both consoles and text files
7. Sequences, including lists and strings
8. Indirection, box and pointer diagrams and mutable objects
9. Constructing objects, and using their methods and instance variables (fields)
10. Components of a class, as expressed in code as well as in Unified Modeling Language (UML)
11. Modularity and structured decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces
12. Using an application programming interface (API)

Design, implement, debug and test small programs for solving problems motivated by real-world interests, using the above concepts and modern software engineering practices including (where appropriate, and at an elementary level):

1. An appropriate integrated development environment with version control
2. Coding to a specification
3. Iterative enhancement
4. Pair programming
5. Test-first programming
6. Documenting software, for internal readers and for external readers
7. Use of application programming interfaces (APIs)

Work for 2 - 4 weeks in a team of 3-4 students on a small software development project, demonstrating (at an elementary level) effective use of:

1. Division of labor
2. Integrating teammates' work
3. Modularity and and structured decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces
4. Constructing objects from new APIs as needed, and using their methods and instance variables (fields)
5. Agile software development processes
6. Team roles
7. Conflict resolution
