What the module covered

What I took from it

While I already had prior experience with programming concepts and writing code, this module helped reinforce and extend my understanding. The coursework (a simple text-based sim game) was especially useful in helping me get comfortable with incremental development and testing as well as producing clean, well-structured and documented code.
