SUBJECT: Free Elective 1 (Data Oriented Language)

PREPARED BY: Maria Cristina B. Nazareno

Description of the Course

Free Elective 2 covers Data Oriented Language. So what is this Data-Oriented
Design? It’s about on shifting focus to how data is read and written. As Rob Pike noted,
“Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well,
the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are
central to programming.1 As the scale of the integration and complexity grows, the only
unifying common denominators between disparate sub-systems are:
1. the data they produce and consume; and
2. the services they use and offer.
In order to scale, system software architecture must be organized around a
common "shared information model" that spans multiple systems. This is the principle of
"data-oriented" design: expose the data and hide the code.
In this course, the principles of data-oriented thinking and why it offers an
appropriate paradigm to address large scale system integration will be discussed using
MySQL through a middleware application PHP in applying data-oriented design.
This course is three (3) units of credit.

Pre-requisite:
The students who are enrolled in this subject may not understand the topics if
they don’t have knowledge in Object Oriented and Procedural programming, thus, it is a
must that the student passed the programming subjects from his/her two years in
school.

General Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand Data Oriented Language and its importance in programming
2. Explain the differences between Object Oriented, procedural and data
oriented languages

SUBJECT: Computer Organization and Assembly Language
PREPARED BY: Maria Cristina B. Nazareno

Description of the Course

The course “Computer Organization and Assembly Language” refers to a conceptual
understanding, rather than an engineering understanding, of the inner workings of computers. A more
formal definition of this term is “the logical arrangement of the hardware components and how they are
interconnected.”

The course presents the various hardware structures (down to transistor level) that compose a
computer, their individual functions, how they interact with each other, how they can be organized and
controlled to perform the task assigned to the computer. How data is represented, stored and
manipulated is also covered.

This course is three (3) units of credit.

Pre-requisite:
IT 101 is an official prerequisite for this course. In particular, some programming skills
and a good background in discrete mathematics will be very helpful.

General Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Gain an understanding of the hardware structures that make computers possible.
2. Know the different devices and components of a computer system (down to the transistor level),
know how these components interact and work together.
3. Understand computer organization concepts and how they apply to systems development.
