DSD: Think like a computer programmer (Campus-based)
Course Description:

How do coders do it? How do you get from an idea or a problem to a working program?

This course introduces the non-coder to the ways of thinking that make for successful program development.

Without writing any code, we use practical and engaging exercises to expose learners to programming problems and solutions. This helps both to demystify coding and to lead learners into the actual coding task without code anxiety.

This is a six-hour course delivered on campus.
