Introduction to Programming

This course takes students through the basics of computer programming. The aim is to get students to understand the concepts and principles of computer programming; such as logic, sequencing, conditions, loops, routines and algorithms.

To keep the focus on these concepts and principles, which apply to all programming languages, we use a visual programming language, which is really easy to understand and fun to work with.

The instructions that make up the visual programming language are in the form of building-blocks. By combining building-blocks and arranging them in the right order, one is able to create their desired application. It is similar to the popular Lego bricks, but this is done on computers.

My experience at CodeCamp was very helpful. I already knew how to code before joining CodeCamp, but did not know the basics, such as writing of algorithms. Attending CodeCamp has really helped me understand how to code and has really improved my programming skills and knowledge.

The course [Introduction to Programming] I took at CodeCamp has really boosted my creative skills and enhanced my imaginative skills. Using the new approach to software creation, through visual blocks makes coding very easy. Also the writing and reading of algorithms has made me give instructions in a more understandable and straight forward way.
