A very, very introductory course in programming. No specific language is taught, instead, the ideas that you can take with you to almost any programming language, and that you’ll see in just about any piece of code, are introduced.

The very rough outline of what will be covered:

• variables, and possibly types in a generic sense (ints, floats,

strings, arrays)

• blocks, and to a minor extent, scope in terms of blocks
• flow control (if, while, do-while)
• boolean logic (without getting too complicated, related to previous topic)
• loops (for, foreach, link back into while & do-while)
• functions

We leave more advanced topics, including objects/classes, for the Learn Python session, and hopefully this session will be complimentary.
