Programming is the art and science of writing instructions that a computer can follow to accomplish a task. This course will teach you the concepts you need to know to become a computer programmer.

You’ll learn about the brief history of programming, what constitutes a computer program, and the evolution of programming languages, including the various types of applications currently being developed. Next, you’ll learn how to organize the code using modules, namespaces, and packages. You’ll then learn about the basic building blocks of a computer program and cover variable declaration and initialization, along with primitive data types. Next, you’ll cover how to change the program flow using conditional statements and learn how to use loops. You’ll finish by learning how to create functions and handle errors using exceptions.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of how computer programming works, and be well equipped to learn any programming language you want.
