Overview

This course provides you with the foundational skill set required to write computer programs. If you are interested in learning how to write interactive, graphical programs from an introductory level in a real programming language, this is the course for you. We will be teaching the concepts of the Python, Java and JavaScript programming languages as well as HTML and CSS to develop responsive web applications. We teach with something we call “talk-throughs”. A talk-through is like a video, but it’s actually interactive- you can pause at any time if you want to play with the code yourself, and you can spin-off if you want to make your own version of what we made.
