Course description

This course provides a managerial perspective on programming, teaching the fundamentals of a well-known programming language: VBA for Excel. Although it is not the only language in use, its concepts are sufficiently simple for students at beginner level to be able to grasp them. Moreover, as part of MS Excel, this language will be extremely useful for the fields of marketing, finance and management.
The course will be highly oriented towards practical applications and will provide, through examples, an introduction to programming languages in general, and VBA in particular. The focus will not be oriented towards complex programs, but on managing a development project.
As this module gives mostly basic knowledge on programming project management, there will be no need for an exam. Classes will consist of standard lectures about programming first, and then will be oriented towards exercises and projects.
