Description

This course is for aspiring programmers with little or zero background in Mathematics and Computer Science. It is also for individuals who want to learn programming fundamentals before learning a language of their choice.In this, you will learn fundamental programming concepts that people usually miss when learning programming on their own, you will also learn important concepts that are sometimes not covered in online tutorials.This course covers and explains the following topics:What programming really isHow variable creation, memory allocation and Garbage Collection (GC) workThe structure and building blocks of programming languagesPseudo-code and its importance in programming and in the real worldAfter completing each section of the course, there are a few quizzes to test how well you understand what was taught in the section. These quizzes may also contain topics and concepts that are not included in the lecture itself. Therefore, it is important to attempt the quizzes.This course contains only a few written code exercises. This is intentional because the strong emphasis is placed on developing your pseudo-coding skills, which help you master any programming language of your choice with ease.After completing this course, we encourage you to leave a rating and provide your feedback. Your input is valuable and helps us enhance the quality and effectiveness of future course offerings.
