What you will learn

Introduction to Programming introduces learners to the logical mind of computing – how computers work with programming languages, and how to write in a way they will understand. Using pseudocode, these lessons are directly applicable across a range of different programming languages. Also will introduce learners to new methods of understanding and 'de-coding' everyday processes, aiding them in the production of programming code through subsequent language specific courses.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

How computers interpret programming languages, and how to write in a way they will understand.
Introduction to key terminology: Functions, Routines, Sub Routines and Loops
