Why this course?
There are lots of great courses that teach you how to program…and of course, we suggest you do as many as you can. However, if this is your first time, or if you are wanting to explore a potential career in programming, then this is the best course for you. Why?
Firstly it will be fun! Learning that is not fun is not fun…OK, we suppose that makes sense ;-) We want you to have fun during your learning and will not only show you what is vital - but we plan to keep it fun and interesting too.

Thirdly you are about to be taught - not just by one person - but by I unique father-daughter team. We have been working together for years on online courses (check out our other courses and others). Craig has a PhD in educational technology and have been involved in technology and teaching it for over 30 years. I will share with you the benefit of my knowledge of teaching ensuring that the teaching is engaging, professional and effective. Sarah has extensive experience in programming and is in her final year of Computer Science. Together we will bring you an engaging and highly unique look into the world of programming.
What kind of materials are included?
The course includes everything you need. The lectures are professionally created, as people have come to expect from my courses. We will explain everything to you and give you access to additional files/content where they are needed. 
How long will the course take to complete?
There are 9 sections to this course, with each section providing short powerful videos on individual concepts. Learning to become a programmer takes time, but by following our course and working through each section, you will move from the basics to mastering some truly exciting programming concepts.
