Full Course Details

Intro to Programming is a beginner-friendly course designed to teach the foundational concepts of computer programming. Students learn how computers interpret instructions, how to write basic programs, and how to solve problems using logical thinking. The course introduces core programming concepts such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, and simple algorithms. By the end, students will be able to write small programs, understand code behavior, and build confidence for more advanced programming courses

After completing this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand fundamental programming concepts such as variables, data types, operators, conditions, loops, and functions.
2. Write and run basic programs using a beginner-friendly programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or C).
3. Apply logical and computational thinking to solve simple problems.
4. Use debugging techniques to identify and fix errors in code.
5. Work with input/output operations and manipulate basic data structures (lists, arrays, strings).
6. Understand how algorithms work and implement simple algorithmic solutions.
7. Develop clean, readable, and well-structured code following best practices.
8. Prepare for advanced programming courses and technical skills development.
