Becoming an awesome programmer is a bit like building a large tower of knowledge in that solid foundations are the key to your success. Completing this course will provide you with mastery over these foundations. Here is a quick summary of the journey that awaits you:

?

Curriculum

The course will focus on mastering the following concepts

variables (integers, floats and strings)

control structures ( loops and if statements)

functions

data structures (lists and dictionaries)

?

Learning Process

The course incorporates principles known to help humans learn better, namely: multiple perspectives, revision, feedback and real world application. ?The following three step process will help you retain and master all the topics covered in this course:

Step 1: Demonstrate concept with both visual and text outputs:this is achieved by first writing a program with a text output and then writing another where the output is created visually using turtle.

Step 2: Test your understanding with 10 coding exercises:all of these are automatically marked using the python unittest module giving you instant valuable feedback.

Step 3: Apply your understanding to write useful and interesting programs:The core concepts you have learned will be put together into programs which do useful and interesting things like:

User authentication with a dictionary

Guessing number game

Human reaction time measurement

Human memory training

Palindrome Discovery (all single word palindromes in English)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
