Python & SoftwareEng: Professional Programming for Beginners

–

Steve Jobs, the man who brought us the iPhone said:

I think every body in this country should learn how to program a computer.. should learn a computer language… because it teaches you how to think.

I view computer science as a liberal art. It should be something that everybody learns… takes a year in their lives.. one of the courses they take is .. learning how to program. [ Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview, 1995]

This course teaches you how to think, about computer programs; it doesn’t just teach you a programming language.

Along the way, want to learn programming? Eager to become a software engineer? How about learning the basics of the world’s hottest programming language Python, wildly popular software engineering tools, and excellent programming methodology?

This hands–on, continuously evolving course that will grow to have 20+ hours of screen–cast programming–session recordings will teach you a novice how to create useful computer programs that people can use, and how to continually upgrade your programs with new features based on user requirements. In fact, you will build and evolve your own program, myPlanner , during the course, alongside evolving your programming skills. Read the storyline of the program’s evolution in the resources section of the very first lecture or the Future Lectures! section, both of which are available for free preview.
