Fundamentals of Software

Defend yourself against a changing job market in these times of exponential growth!

The primary focus of this course is to establish the fundamental concepts involved in programming using more practical and relatable examples. Many people find computer code somewhat overwhelming and even intimidating at first, and may not have the confidence to devote their time to a fully-fledged software course.

The truth is coding can be a lot more like reading and writing a story if you know what to look for. The goal here is to help anyone eager enough to find that confidence before actually choosing a programming language to start learning and therefore, hands-on coding is outside the scope of this course. There is however a final section with a general outline for learning Javascript, complete with free informational resources and recommendations on paid courses.

The current version of this course is v1.0 and shouldn’t take a beginner more than 30-60 mins to fully digest. There are advanced topics that will be expanded upon in a future version as well links to external resources that may provide further detail or clarity

Each section includes references to advanced topics that you can research yourself online. Videos covering these advanced topics will be released in the future. You can also purchase one-on-one sessions with the course creator on Advanced Topics to gain a deeper understanding of software fundamentals.
