Foundations of Programming (Python)

An introductory learning path to programming, using python.
Exploring the logical part (how to think like a Programmer).
Explaining the technical part (how to speak "Computer").

What this learning path is:

• A rapid and practical introduction to computer programming and application development.
• For learners with little or no programming experience.
• For learners who would benefit from a refresher learning path.
• For learners looking to explore if programming "is for them".
• Exploring fundamental components and constructs of computer programming.
• Exploring the logic of programming.
• Exploring different programming paradigms.

What this learning path is NOT:

• This learning path is not a python course - It will use python as a tool and focus not only on the syntax, but also the logic of programming.
• This learning path will not adhere python conventions - It will introduce many valid conventions found throughout the software industry.

Objective of this learning path:

Learners completing this learning path will be able to:

• demonstrate basic computer programming concepts.
• explain the software design process, including consideration of some common design trade-offs.
• program in a modern programming language.
• create non-trivial programs in Python.
• recognize programming paradigms and concepts.
