6 units, Carnegie Mellon University
The full title for this course is Business Oriented Systems The History, Design, and Development of Business Systems through the Lens of the CoBOL Programming Language. Using computers to process business information began in the early 1960s. This course examines the technology evolution of business systems from the basic transaction processing of early business systems to todays event driven, webbased, big data systems. Students explore the unique aspects of business systems such as longevity, maintainability, good information reporting practices, and development methods. Lecture material includes important historical milestones, business systems terminology, and business oriented problemsolving approaches. Students will apply lessons learned in the lectures to programming assignments where they will gain a practical understanding of data representations, persistent storage structures, and algorithms common to business systems. The programming assignments use CoBOL, a standardized language designed for business systems development. Some minimal programming experience in any language is necessary. Good listening skills and class interaction are required.
