About the Course

Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class. This course will introduce you to a powerful problem-solving process—the Seven Steps—which you can use to solve any programming problem. In this course, you will learn how to develop an algorithm, then progress to reading code and understanding how programming concepts relate to algorithms....

The instruction provided in this course are very clear and anyone who can learn coding by this course. But the course has more readable content for you to take notes and reading it may take more time.

Whether you are new to programming or an experienced guy, you should absolutely opt for this course because it helps to build a strong base with the basic but most important concepts in programming.

Final submission should include writing a code. This code should be tested/reviewed, even if only checking if it gives the correct results.

Great intro to how computers work. Sometimes i felt the reading material is too tedious and lengthy. Can be made more efficient.

Its more about reading rather than learning from the videos itself. Looking forward to next course where we will write code.

Si bien las bases son importante y este curso se toma el trabajo de entregarlas, si se siente un poco pesado tanta teoría.

The content of the first part is very inductive and good for the novices, However, the reading material is way too much.
