Programming

A flexible programming course allowing students to learn the language of their choice, focusing on coding fundamentals and real-world applications.

Course Overview

This course is ideal for students looking to build their skills in a specific programming language of their choice. The available languages are C++, Java, Python, or PHP. The curriculum is tailored to the chosen language and includes:

✅ Introduction to programming concepts and logic
✅ Syntax and structure of the chosen language
✅ Object-oriented programming (for C++, Java, or Python)
✅ Functions, variables, loops, and conditionals
✅ Data structures and algorithms
✅ Debugging and troubleshooting code
✅ Real-world projects and applications
✅ Database connectivity and API integration (for PHP)

By the end of the course, students will be able to write efficient code, solve problems using programming, and develop small to medium-sized projects.

Course Curriculum

8 Modules

Introduction to Programming Concepts

Understanding fundamental programming concepts, computational thinking, and problem-solving approaches. Students will learn about algorithms, flowcharts, and basic programming logic regardless of language choice.

Syntax and Structure of Chosen Language

Mastering the specific syntax, structure, and conventions of the selected programming language (C++, Java, Python, or PHP). Students will learn language-specific coding practices and standards.

Variables, Data Types, and Operators

Working with different data types, declaring variables, and using operators for mathematical and logical operations. Students will understand type conversion, scope, and memory management concepts.

Control Structures and Functions

Implementing conditional statements, loops, and custom functions to control program flow. Students will learn to write modular, reusable code with proper parameter passing and return values.

Object-Oriented Programming

Understanding classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation in the chosen language. Students will learn to design and implement object-oriented solutions to programming problems.

Data Structures and Algorithms

Working with arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and implementing basic searching and sorting algorithms. Students will learn to select appropriate data structures for different programming scenarios.

Debugging and Troubleshooting

Identifying and fixing errors in code using debugging tools and systematic problem-solving approaches. Students will learn to read error messages, use breakpoints, and implement testing strategies.

Advanced Topics and Real-World Projects

Applying programming skills to develop complete applications with database connectivity and/or API integration. Students will work on practical projects relevant to their chosen language and interest areas.
