Getting Started

Setting up Visual Studio Code, your coding environment, and becoming familiar with the tools for debugging and executing your first C++ program.

In order to begin programming, we need a programming (or development) environment. Text editors, such as Microsoft Word, allows us to write/edit text. The text editor that we will be using in class to write/edit code is Visual Studio Code, or “VS Code” for short.

  1. Install Visual Studio Code
  2. Enable C++
  3. Install C++ Compiler
  4. The Hello World Program
  5. Additional Resources

Introduction & Careers in BIS

What are Business Information Systems? What are the responsibilities and requirements of a career in BIS?

Students in an introductory Business Information Systems (BIS) course often ask what a career in BIS looks like. Often, they assume the career involves programming with little human interaction and creativity. That BIS is a technical and uninspiring field could not be further from the truth. Spanning from that of the entry-level internship to Chief Information Officer, BIS job descriptions typically require candidates to be able to collaborate, and communicate, analyze, and gather needs and requirements. As such, BIS workers are constantly interacting with other people both inside and outside the organization, coming up with creative solutions to business problems.
