Course summary

A considerable part the IB course is focused on algorithms and data structures, and how these can be expressed in, and manipulated by, computer programs. Consequently, there is large programming element, particularly Python. Computer graphics and functional and object-oriented programming are explored as well as networking and databases. • System Fundamentals • Computer organisation • Networks • Computational thinking, problem-solving and programming • Object-Oriented Programming • Development of a Computational Solution • Abstract Data Structures • Resource Management • Control • Object-Oriented Programming • Analysis of case study • Development of a Computational Solution
