This course helps you understand how computer programming works. Here, I will introduce you to the basic principles of programming. You will develop your logical thinking, while learning how to design algorithms.

Becoming a programmer(software developer) does not mean to just learn a programming language. Nope! It means to:

1. Learn to think like a programmer,
2. understand how programming works,
3. learn any programming language,
4. practice, practice, practice

This course will help you with points 1 and 2. The course does not cover any programming language or development environment. This course is meant to be taken before learning a specific programming language.

I designed this course for complete beginners, because I have seen too many students starting from point 3 and not understanding what they are doing. I recommend this course to all beginners at our live courses and if you are just starting with computer programming, I also recommend it to you!

I am very keen on examples. Every time when I explain something new, I supplement it with examples. Another key to understanding is exercise. I prepared questions, exercises or practice problems after each lesson.

By the end of this course you will understand:

• How the computer represents and handles information
• How to design an algorithm, using flowcharts
• Data types, operators, Variables, Decisions, Loops, Arrays and matrices

After this course you will be ready to learn any programming language faster, with deeper understanding.
