Description
When you first start programming, solving problems can be difficult. Since the entire impetus for learning programming is to solve a multitude of problems with a computer, the difficulties can lead to frustration. However, in this course, we are going to approach a problem with a method that can help alleviate those issues. Join us as we develop our problem-solving toolkit!
In this course, hosted by Justin and Vonne, we delve into the fundamentals of problem-solving in programming. Starting with algorithmic problem-solving approaches, we gradually progress to tackling specific coding challenges.
Episodes cover various problem-solving scenarios, such as finding the maximum number in a list, reversing a string, identifying palindromes, and implementing a Caesar Cipher. Through clear explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Justin and Zach guide viewers through the process of conceptualizing solutions and translating them into code.
Moreover, Justin provides insights into enhancing code readability and addressing edge cases, ensuring robust and efficient solutions. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a solid foundation in problem-solving techniques and gained practical experience in applying them to real-world coding challenges. Whether you're a beginner or seeking to sharpen your problem-solving skills, this course equips you with valuable tools for success in programming.
Who this course is for:
Beginners who are new to programming and want to develop problem-solving skills.
Individuals looking to improve their problem-solving abilities in programming.
Programmers seeking to enhance their understanding of fundamental problem-solving concepts and techniques.
