At the end of the course, you'll be able to learn any programming language more easily, understand the basic concepts required to build almost anything, and be able to explain programming concepts in plain English.

Content and Overview

This course is suitable for you if:

You're brand-new to programming and want to take additional courses or tackle a bootcamp in the future.
You've tried to learn programming before and failed.
You're struggling in your intro CS classes.
You're a non-technical co-founder wanting a better understanding of what your technical co-founder does.
You're a parent or teacher who wants to use ideas from the course to help your child or students learn programming.
This course avoids teaching a specific programming language in favor of teaching core concepts that are transferable across many languages. Within a couple of hours, you'll be much better equipped to take your next step, whether it's Ruby, JavaScript or C.

Note that if your primary goal is to learn HTML or CSS, you don't need this course because those are mark-up languages, not programming languages.
