This comprehensive training program lays the groundwork for understanding fundamental development principles. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to solidify your foundational knowledge, this program equips you with the essential tools and concepts for successful development endeavors.
This program is designed for individuals with little to no prior development experience. It caters to those interested in:
Web development
Software development
Mobile application development
Anyone seeking a strong base in programming fundamentals
By the end of this program, you will be able to:
Explain core development concepts like variables, data types, operators, and control flow.
Write basic code snippets using a chosen programming language (e.g., Python, Java).
Identify and troubleshoot common programming errors.
Apply fundamental problem-solving techniques to development challenges.
Effectively utilize basic development tools and libraries.
Day 1:
Introduction to Development
What is development? Different development fields (web, software, mobile)
The development lifecycle (planning, designing, coding, testing, deployment)
Introduction to programming languages (compilers, interpreters)
Interactive session: Exploring a development environment (e.g., IDLE, PyCharm)
Hands-on activity: Writing your first code (simple print statements, basic calculations)
Day 2:
Building Blocks of Development
Variables and data types (numbers, strings, booleans)
Operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical)
User input and formatted output
Coding challenge: Utilizing variables and operators to solve a small problem (e.g., calculating area, temperature conversion)
Introduction to debugging: Identifying and fixing errors in code
Day 3:
Control Flow and Conditional Statements
Conditional statements (if-else, elif)
Loops (for loops, while loops)
Applying control flow to decision-making and repetitive tasks
Group activity: Using control flow to design a simple program (e.g., guessing game, quiz)
Debugging exercises: Fixing common errors related to control flow
Day 4:
Functions and Libraries
Functions - modularity, reusability, parameters, return values
Introduction to libraries - pre-written code for common functionalities
Hands-on lab: Building functions to solve specific tasks within a program
Exploring built-in libraries and their functionalities (e.g., math library)
Day 5:
Putting It All Together
Program design principles (readability, maintainability)
Testing and debugging strategies
Introduction to version control (e.g., Git)
Project work: Participants use acquired skills to develop a mini-project (e.g., simple calculator, basic game)
Peer review and code presentation
