Intro to Programming

Programming is a skill to make machines do human works. Intro to programming workshop is our onboarding workshop to build that foundation and connection with the programming world. Good for someone who randomly learnt bits and pieces from different subjections or areas.

Prerequisites

1. Basic Math Knowledge
2. Basic English
3. Basic Problem Solving Skills
4. Laptop (Wifi connectivity)

Pre-Evaluation

you will go through a pre-evaluation test before the workshop to understand your present stage of knowledge on programming. We will personalize the workshop for you accordingly.

What you will learn?
  1. Programming Concepts:
    • Commands and Usage
    • Functions
    • Top Down Design
    • Commenting
    • If/Else
    • For loop
    • While loop
    • Code Indentation
  2. Programming Approach (5 stages):
    • Stage 1: Description, Conditions, I/O, O/P, Test Cases
    • Stage 2: Breaking down into Parts
    • Stage 3: Write Pseudo Code for each part and linking code
    • Stage 4: Convert the Pseudo code into Real program
  3. Approach to learn any Programming Language:
    • Learning with analogy
    • Logic and Approach is same

Post-Evaluation

Post-Evaluation is a quick test, at the end of the Workshop, which should reflect a significant difference in your understanding towards programming, this will also give a metric to go to the next level.

What next?

Good, If you have completed Codehs course with certificate,registered on Quora (ask 3 questions) and excercises in the Intro to programming workshop, you are good to move to the next level and learn real programming language and try to solve real world problems and recognize the potential of programming. Are you ready ?
