This course is meant to introduce people who have no programming experience to the world of computer science. With the tech industry becoming one of the most trending fields in the job market, learning how to program can be one of the most important and meaningful skills. This course will teach the basic, foundation concepts of programming in an easy-to-follow manner.

The first part of the course will get students acquainted with some basic concepts used in programming and will lay the conceptual groundwork that the rest of the course will build upon. After learning the basic terms and concepts of computer programming, the next two sections of the course allow students to practice these concepts hand-on.

Students will follow along with basic examples in two programming languages: Python and JavaScript. Both languages are easy for beginners to learn and are very user friendly.

clear and concise
