Coding I - Fundamentals

Catalog description

This course allows students to explore initial computer programming concepts with an emphasis on mapping current problem solving abilities to techniques that produce efficient computer systems. Topics covered include: history of programming languages, variables, conditionals, iteration, methods, and objects. These topics are covered within the context of good problem solving techniques, algorithm design, and user experience. The use of Python, an industry standard programming language, allows students to focus on the concepts of programming while minimizing the complexity of language details. Computer certifications (such as Mendix) are explored also.
