55337 Introduction to Programming
- 5 Days Course
- Language: English
Introduction:
Breaking into software development can feel overwhelming; research shows that 30% to 50% of students struggle or drop out of introductory programming courses because the fundamentals are difficult to grasp without the right structure.
55337: Introduction to Programming provides a clear solution. This 5-day, beginner-friendly course introduces you to the basics of computer programming through Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, using C# and Visual Basic.
You’ll learn how computers process data, write algorithms, and use decision structures and loops, then progress to object-oriented concepts like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. The course also introduces debugging, security, I/O, and performance, giving you a solid foundation to advance into Programming in C# and begin your software development journey.
Objectives:
This course builds the foundation for learning modern programming. You will learn to: Explain core programming concepts such as storage, processing, and compilation Create and use variables, constants, decision structures, and loops Write and interpret pseudocode and basic algorithms Work with data structures including arrays, lists, stacks, and queues Implement OOP with classes, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism Use the .NET Base Class Library (BCL) Apply application security concepts and I/O operations Debug applications and handle errors effectively Understand performance and memory management considerations
