Introduction to computer programming for those without any prior knowledge or experience in computer programming. We will introduce four broad areas related to success in computer programming: language, software engineering concepts, programming environment, and practical know-how.
At the end of this course, students should: - Have the skills required to solve problems by creating and modifying programs. - Have the knowledge of basic programming concepts, their appropriate usage, and how and where to learn more. - Have the skills to write precisely and insightfully about programs and the programming process to help clarify their ideas and to communicate these ideas to others. - Have an attitude of confidence when reading, writing, or discussing computer code. Note: The programming language used in this course is Python. Students will also learn Markdown as an important tool for writing precisely about code.
