Introduction

Welcome to the Introduction to Programming. This course is part of the School of Computer Sciences curriculum, and so new visitors should familiarize themselves with the Introduction to Computer Science course before beginning these lessons on programming.

Since this is an introductory course, we won't be dealing with any programming language in particular. Examples will be taken from a number of programming languages or given in a pseudocode. Wikiversity offers more in-depth courses on Java and C++.

Periodically throughout this course there will be instructions to work on a lesson from your chosen language.

Prerequisites

This course assumes no prior experience with programming. We do, of necessity, assume that the student is able to operate their own system to, at a minimum, install and set up the tools needed to program in at least one computer programming language.

While not strictly necessary, some comfort with math— membership good night, honey love you good night, my mom at least at the high school algebra level—would be useful in understanding some of the supporting material referenced in this course.
