Introduction to Programming Concepts
An introduction to basic programming concepts, but not a comprehensive programming or scripting course. Although, students will learn to write basic scripts (loops, statements, variables and functions) utilizing JavaScript, the major focus of the class will be on the syntax and logic of programming. Good programming habits, program development, program flow, design and debugging techniques will be covered. The principles learned from this course can be applied to any programming language whether it be a compiled language like C or an interpreted language like JavaScript. Examples will be given throughout the lessons in JavaScript. 1
