Description
This course will teach you the basics of programming in the python programming language and computing in line with the syllabus of the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course which introduces students to the breadth of the field of computer science.
Decades of experience teaching at schools and Universities across the world have allowed us to perfect a successful approach to teaching programming to students of different ages, background and abilities. You will have access to simple videos that introduce the essential python concepts, and practical exercises so that you can gain and improve your coding skills.
We will cover the essentials of the Python language such as operators, variables, data types, conditionals, loops, basic data structures including lists, and functions.
The areas of Computer Science includes an introduction to the world of digital media and how computers work, the Internet and networks, data analysis, data security and programming areas such as pseudo code, logic and algorithms. These areas are essential for the AP CSP Exam.
The course was designed to be clear and suitable for beginners, using simple language so all learners can understand, with captions (subtitles) if required.
You have found the right place to learn, take this opportunity and start now.
