Description

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!

My name is Rob and I work as a Mobile App Developer using Unity and the C# programming language to create engaging mobile apps. The latest apps that I have worked on include the Marvel Collect, Disney, and Star Wars Card Trader apps by the Topps company. Prior to this I worked on a Scratch to Win mobile app for both Android and iOS with over 10 million installs.

I have also worked as an cross platform mobile app developer using Unity (C#- iOS) and Android Studio (Java - Android), a Virtual Reality Game Developer, and teacher’s assistant at the New Jersey Institute of Technology for classes in Python, JavaScript, C# and 3D Modeling. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology from NJIT.

As a student who never programmed until I got to college I want to help others looking to enter the tech industry and teach them the techniques I used to learn programming quickly and effectively.

My teaching focuses on conveying the most relevant skills that you can use to build your portfolio and get real, hands-on technical experience geared towards landing you your dream tech industry job.

I am an industry professional who also has teaching experience and a passion for learning and teaching about the latest programming languages and technologies.

The topics I enjoy teaching and am very knowledgeable about include: Computer Programming, Information Technology, Game Development, and Web Development.
