Course description

This beginner course will take you from zero knowledge to having a solid understanding of the basic concepts of computer science and programming languages.

The basis for education in the last millennium was “reading, writing, and arithmetic;” now it is reading, writing, and computing. Learning to program is an essential part of the education of every new generational student, not just in the sciences but in all domains.

Beyond direct applications, it is the first step in understanding the nature of computer science’s undeniable impact on the modern world. We intend to teach programming to those who need to learn it, scientifically.

You will learn fundamental concepts of how computers work, which can be applied to any software or computer system. You will also gain the practical skills needed to write interactive, graphical programs at a basic level.

We teach these basic skills with Java programming language for computational problem solving that are applicable in many computing environments. Proficiency in Java is a goal, but we focus on fundamental concepts in programming.

COURSE OUTLINE

  • Introduction to Computer Programming
  • How Computers Work
  • Conditionals and Loops
  • Creating Data Types
  • Input and Output
  • Programming Languages
  • Mathematics for Computer Science

YOU WILL ALSO LEARN HOW TO USE THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS:

  • Java Script

PROJECTS THEY WILL WORK ON DURING CLASSWORK AND PERSONAL PROJECTS

Learners will work on hands-on exercises and develop a full-fledged knowledge of computer science at the end of the course. This course includes a mini-Capstone Project where you’ll apply your skills to build a fully functional project.

Moreso, each student is given an individual project and a group project to complete when the course gets done.

Why students love this course

The Basics of Computer Science course offered by DeepDrimz was an excellent introduction to the subject. The course content was comprehensive, covering fundamental concepts such as algorithms, data structures, and programming languages. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided clear explanations. The practical exercises and coding assignments were valuable for hands-on learning. The only suggestion would be to include more interactive coding challenges to reinforce understanding.

DeepDrimz's Basics of Computer Science course was a valuable learning experience. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow. The instructors provided a solid foundation in computer science concepts, including logic, algorithms, and problem-solving techniques. The practical exercises and coding projects helped me apply the knowledge effectively. It would have been even better with more opportunities for peer interaction or group projects.
