Why is it important?

Adopting a competency approach is not only a recommendation of various computing curricula guidelines in many jurisdictions around the world, but it is also of increasing importance to help promote the development of work-ready graduates and, hence, employed graduates. Programming is a fundamental competency that many graduates will employ. What programming competencies are and how craft computing can be employed to develop them is an underexplored area.
