Course: COP1000: Introduction to Programming > Section: Syllabus

;A computer program compiler is needed to do lab assignments. The options differ depending on the computer language selected and the system platform. Some example locations are:

Python 2 & 3: http://python.org/download/

Java 7: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

C++: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

Visual Basic/Studio: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads

On the use of Wikipedia, because we will be exploring multiple languages in this course, we recommend Wikipedia as a resource because it gives you the liberty to explore beyond what any one textbook can provide, and let you have an easier time in selecting the programming language that is best for you.
