INF 410 - Code and Power3 hours
Computer code, the language that drives information and communication technologies, is inherently powerful. It often frames how we think, prescribes our actions, and controls how we interact with others. This course provides students the skills to critically assess technology by exploring specific technologies and their code constructions. Topics will also include open and closed source coding, communities, and culture, with special emphasis on competing value sets and the role of intellectual property rights (e.g., the DMCA) in protecting closed code constructions. Learning experiences in this course will employ literature-based discussion, research-based evaluation of specific case studies, and instructor-led coding exercises.
Prerequisite(s): INF 110 and INF 120
