Becoming an awesome programmer is a bit like building a large tower of knowledge in that solid foundations are the key to your success. Completing this course will provide you with mastery over these foundations. Here is a quick summary of the journey that awaits you:

�

Curriculum

The course will focus on mastering the following concepts

variables (integers, floats and strings)
control structures ( loops and if statements)
functions
data structures (lists and dictionaries)

�

Learning Process

The course incorporates principles known to help humans learn better, namely: multiple perspectives, revision, feedback and real world application. The following three step process will help you retain and master all the topics covered in this course:

Step 1: Demonstrate concept with both visual and text outputs:this is achieved by first writing a program with a text output and then writing another where the output is created visually using turtle.

Step 2: Test your understanding with 10 coding exercises:all of these are automatically marked using the python unittest module giving you instant valuable feedback.

Step 3: Apply your understanding to write useful and interesting programs:The core concepts you have learned will be put together into programs which do useful and interesting things like:

User authentication with a dictionary
Guessing number game
Human reaction time measurement
Human memory training
Palindrome Discovery (all single word palindromes in English)
