Foundations of Programming Fundamentals

Author: Simon Allardice



Foundations of Programming: Fundamentals provides the core

knowledge to begin programming in any language. Simon Allardice

uses JavaScript to explore the core syntax of a programming

language, and shows how to write and execute your first

application and understand what? going on under the hood. The

course covers creating small programs to explore conditions,

loops, variables, and expressions; working with different kinds

of data and seeing how they affect memory; writing modular code;

and how to debug, all using different approaches to constructing

software applications.



Finally, the course compares how code is written in several

different languages, the libraries and frameworks that have

grown around them, and the reasons to choose each one.

* Writing source code

* Understanding compiled and interpreted languages

* Requesting input

* Working with numbers, characters, strings, and operators

* Writing conditional code

* Making the code modular

* Writing loops

* Finding patterns in strings

* Working with arrays and collections

* Adopting a programming style

* Reading and writing to various locations

* Debugging

* Managing memory usage

* Learning about other languages
