In this course, you will learn about the building blocks of coding. You’ll explore how real-world problems can be broken into algorithms described through coding and then use the approachable and versatile coding language of Python to generate the output you’re looking for. You’ll cover both procedural and object-oriented programming and even create two text-based adventure games along the way.

In the second semester, you’ll continue working with Python, but you’ll also add other languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to your coding toolkit as you build and style a web app! You’ll explore data structures to process information, how to stay on schedule and prepare for app updates, and how to improve the functionality, look, and safety of your app. Each new coding challenge we meet invites us to expand our skills, and there’s always room for creativity when you you’re working with code.
