Introduction to Programming
Certificate
Damelin Correspondence’s Introduction to Programming
course tackles the subject of software design by using modern
programming techniques and pseudocode to develop a solution
algorithm. It aims to teach entry-level programmers the essential
programming practice of design before construction, as well as
good programming skills for solving business problems.
Too often, programmers launch straight into the code of their
chosen programming language, instead of concentrating on the
actual problem at hand. They can become bogged down with the
syntax and format of the language, and often spend many hours
getting the program to work.
In this course the programmer will learn how to define the
problem properly, how to divide it into modules, how to design a
solution algorithm and how to prove the algorithm’s correctness
before commencing any program coding.
