Programming is considered one of the most essential and effective fields of computers. Also, due to the advanced improvement in information technology, programming has become an important aspect for students majoring in computers or other fields. Therefore, the Programming Club was established under the umbrella of the Student Activity Unit at the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at King Abdulaziz University to benefit the faculty students who come from diverse degree levels such as undergraduate, master, and doctoral programs. Furthermore, the Programming Club is concerned with consolidating the concepts of programming languages to enrich the faculty’s graduate students with all the important concepts related to programming languages .
The objectives of the programming club can be summarized in the following points:
The club should establish a scientific and practical environment to improve the skills of those who belong to the club through lectures and organized workshops, for example:
In addition, the club works to provide a scientific environment to enable students to use programming in their future projects and researches. Also, the club will conduct one competition (at least) during the academic year and train students (female and male) to join local, or regional or international competitions and assist them in carrying out their researches within the club’s interests.
