  • Course Description

    This programming course takes a unique approach, as it focuses on learning a systematic programming method rather than a programming language. This practical approach will help you channel your creativity so that you can program well in any language.

    This course, part of the Software Development MicroMasters Program, presents a core design method with a focus on numbers, strings, images and lists.

    You will learn techniques to:

    • Develop program requirements
    • Produce programs with consistent structure that are easy to modify later
    • Make your programs more reliable by building tests as an integral part of the programming process.

    This course concludes with the design of a simple interactive game.

    Learners who enroll in the Verified track will receive staff grading for the course project and increased interaction with the instructor and staff.

    What you'll learn

    • How to represent information as data
    • How to focus each part of your program on a single task
    • How to use examples and tests to clarify what your program should do
    • How to simplify the structure of your program using common patterns
    • Recognize and represent more complicated information
