In this lecture, I introduce the course and explain the structure of the course, my background, and what students will get out of this course.
In this lecture, I discuss what programming is.
In this lecture, I give an overview of programming languages and explain common uses for some of the most popular languages.
In this lecture, I discuss the concept of variables and their role in programming.
In this lecture, I discuss the concept of conditional statements and how programmers use them to control the flow of execution of their programs.
In this lecture, I discuss the concept of a programming console and how developers use the console to debug the program and log output.
In this lecture, I discuss the concept of loops in programming and go over the two main types of loops: for loops and while loops.
In this video, I discuss the concept of comments and how developers use them to make notes to themselves and debug their programs.
In this video, I discuss the concept of errors in programming and introduce the three main types of errors: syntax errors, logic errors, and run-time errors.
In this lecture, I discuss the concept of functions and how they make code more readable and reusable. Functions are one of the fundamental concepts of computer science and are an important concept for beginners to understand and utilize.

In this lecture, we look at how to implement for loops and while loops in JavaScript.
In this lecture, we look at single and multi line comments in JavaScript.
In this lecture, we look at some examples of common errors in JavaScript and how to fix them.
In this lecture, we look at functions in JavaScript and how they can save us time and energy when programming.
This lecture summarizes everything we learned in this course and also gives you some pointers on where you can go from here.
This course is meant to introduce people who have no programming experience to the world of computer science. With the tech industry becoming one of the most trending fields in the job market, learning how to program can be one of the most important and meaningful skills. This course will teach the basic, foundation concepts of programming in an easy-to-follow manner.
The first part of the course will get students acquainted with some basic concepts used in programming and will lay the conceptual groundwork that the rest of the course will build upon. After learning the basic terms and concepts of computer programming, the next two sections of the course allow students to practice these concepts hand-on.
Students will follow along with basic examples in two programming languages: Python and JavaScript. Both languages are easy for beginners to learn and are very user friendly. This course won’t make you an expert programmer, but it will give you an exciting first look at programming and a foundation of basic concepts with which you can start your journey learning computer programming.
Update: The course now features hands-on coding exercises where you can put the programming skills you learned to use and get instant feedback on your code! The best way to learn programming is by doing!
