Programming is the mental process of thinking up instructions to give to a machine (like a computer). Coding is the process of transforming those ideas into a written language that a computer can understand.
Take this course and learn about the history and basics of programming using Blockly and pseudocode. See the specifics of different programming languages and dive into different tech careers to see what suits you best.
Some of these are about the frustration and payoff of learning a new skill, while others are about the essence of programming and problem solving. Read on, share your favorites on social media, hang them by your desk, or simply file them away for a rainy day.
This path provides an overview of the main branches of programming: computer science, web development, and data science. It teaches important concepts you’ll find in every coding language, such as variables, functions, and control flow.
Pair programming is a great educational tool for beginners. Observing other programmers and writing code in front of them are great ways to improve your problem-solving skills.
Programming languages enable communication between humans and computers. Learn about how they work, the most popular languages, and their many applications.
In programming, variables are declared by giving it a name and setting it to a value using an equals sign (‘=’). Variables can later be reassigned to other values.
