Description

Why should you bother learning programming?Our world is connected by the Internet which creates the global market, the biggest one in the world. The Internet is made of  billions of computers and every one of them needs software to work. Software is made by programmers so investing in learning programming seems a pretty solid decision.Why won't AI take programmer positions?AI has been made by programmersAI generated code needs to be reviewed in order to use itAI is just a tool that helps programmersWho is this course for?Thinking about a career change but don't know where to start.Tentative about your career decision.Any kind of stakeholder in a software development project who wants to understand programmers better.Curious about modern technology and want to know exactly what programming is.What is included?In this course you will learn about the workings of computers and the fundamentals of programming which is shared amongst many modern programming languages like variables, conditional statements, loops, error handling, etc.  You will solve many programming exercises because learning programming requires practice.You will learn the basics of object oriented programming which is a code structuring technique that helps to produce more maintainable and understandable code. You will be aware of the tools that programmers use day by day like libraries, frameworks, package managers, build tools, unit tests, version control systems, pipelines and AI based tools. You will learn the process of making applications and the software development lifecycle including different methodologies like waterfall or agile development. You will learn the characteristics of different programming languages and will be familiar with the top six. You will learn about the different developer roles like backend, frontend, mobile, game developers or automated testers and data scientists and machine learning engineers. You will learn what kind of tasks they work on and what skills they require in order to solve them. What will you gain?By the end of the course you will be confident in the basics of programming and will have a broad understanding of the whole software development industry so you will be able to make an informative decision about your career path and plan your learning in order to become a software developer and understand programmers and their work better.
