Module 1: Getting Started
The first module will examine the numerous different types of computer languages in use, the tools required to create programs and the construction of programs.
- Types of languages
- Programming tools
- How programs work
Module 2: Think like a Programmer
We will examine how programs can remember your data, the types of data they will remember, performing calculations within your code and controlling text. We also take a further look at branching your code.
- Data types
- Variables and constants
- Comments
- Calculations
- Manipulating text
- Using logic to control programs
Module 3: Build Your First Application
Here, we will discuss how you can reuse your code through the use of subroutines. We also examine functions and parameters. At the end of this module there is a practical exercise where you will build your first mini-application.
- Reusing code
- Subroutines
- Functions
- Parameters
- Writing your application
Module 4: Advanced Coding Techniques
In the final module, we uncover the different types of errors which could interfere with your code, and the debugging tools which can help you prevent them.
- Error types
- Debugging tools
- Object-orientated programming
