Fundamentals of Programming

In this video I will explain what a program is so you can understand what the process of programming entails

In this video I will explain what programming languages are and their characteristics so that you know which means are used to

transmit the instructions to the machine

In this video I will explain you what types of languages exist depending on how they execute the code, the advantages and

disadvantages of each type. This will serve as a basis for understanding many of the future concepts in the course

In this video I will explain you the different programming areas so you can understand what languages can be used in each of them, as well as different software created with each language so you know what you can do with each one

In this video I will explain the different code development tools that you can use for each of the 9 languages of the course

In this video I will explain in depth what a variable is, how the memory reserve works internally, the types of data that exist and the constants

In this video I will explain which arithmetic and assignment operators that you can use in each language to work with the data

In this video we will give an example of the previous concept so that you can understand it in a practical way

In this video I will explain what arrays are, how to create them and how to manage them through the index

WARNING: in the video you will see the JavaScript code that reads like this:

var contacts = new string(20);

I warn you that there was an error in the video edition, the correct code is:

var contacts = new Array(20);

apologies!

In this video I will explain what matrices are, how to create them, how to assign them the dimensions we need and how to manage the internal data

In this PDF file I suggest exercises to be solved in the language you prefer. Remember to share your results with others!

In this video I will explain the basic if and else flow control statement to make conditions

In this video I will explain Boolean logic, logical and comparison operators and how to use them to establish conditions

In this video I will explain how to use do-while loops and a real example of their usage nowadays.

In this video I will explain you how while loops work and in which cases they can be used

In this video I will explain the structure of the classic for loop, how to use it, the advantages it has and implementation examples

In this video I will explain the Switch flow statement, the advantages it presents, the factors to take into account and usage examples

In this video I will explain advanced statements such as break, continue, goto, etc. The logic behind them and a practical example

Here you have 12 exercises available in the PDF where you can review the contents of this section displayed as examples in real award winning apps during the last year

In this video I will show you what the concept of modular programming means and what it entails according to the saying "divide and conquer".

In this video I will teach you the syntax to create functions in each language as well as the concept of parameter, return, parameters by default and types of functions

In this video I will show you what a global variable is, what advantages it has and what risks it has. We will use this idea to progress in our example of simulating a sports event

In this video I will show you a special kind of data: the pointers. We will see in which languages you can learn them, as well as their use in sending parameters by reference, and not by value as we have seen so far

In this video I will show you a special kind of function: the recursive functions. What they are and practical examples of their use

Here's an example where I help you figure out where to recreate the internal process of a muscle training app through the use of functions

In this video I will show you what an object is, what advantages it has over other data and how it is used nowadays

In this video I will teach you the syntax of an object, how to declare it in each language, and how to create it. We will also see how to add properties or attributes and functionalities through methods. We will also see how to specify the accessibility of these features in those languages that apply

In this video I will teach you the main method of an object: the constructor. We will see the role it plays in the creation of

the object, how to define it and how to make variants to create the object with and without input parameters. We will also see a real example of this concept in video game development

In this video I will teach you other common methods that you should be aware of to manage object property values. We will also include this idea in the videogame example with which we are showing the practical application of object oriented programming

In this video I will show you what inheritance is and how inheritance is created between objects. I will show you how to add properties in addition to the inherited ones and how the object constructors that receive inheritance work. Again we will develop our videogame thanks to the concept of inheritance

In this video I will teach you something that is essential in object-oriented programming: polymorphism. Thanks to this cornerstone you will be able to create functions where you use several types of objects without typing errors if you have created a good inheritance pattern between the objects

In this PDF file I suggest a thorough exercise on Objects, Inheritance and Polymorphism
