A popular phrase of Steve Jobs was: "everyone should learn to program a computer because it helps you think." Today it is very clear that programming is essential for current technological development. In our course you will enter the world of Python programming. You will learn step by step the basic handling of variables to the programming of algorithms to create your own games. Additionally, you will soak up basic concepts for the development of algorithms and their programming. After completing the course, you will have everything in your hands to develop your own Python programs and continue exploring to build new, more elaborate programs.
INTRODUCTION: PROGRAMMING AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS. The purpose of this course is for students to understand how programming languages allow us to communicate with the computer. You will know the origin and characteristics of the Python programming language. Finishing this module you will have the programming environment (IDE) for Python, PyCharm, installed on your computer with which you will be able to write and execute your first lines of code with Python.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS OF THE PYTHON LANGUAGE. In this module the basic data types of the Python language will be implemented. You will be able to use them to create expressions that enable you to calculate new data and store it in variables. On the other hand, it will use instructions to interact with the user. Finally, you will have programmed the fundamental elements of your social network with which you will be able to publish your first messages.
FLOW CONTROL. This module will allow you to develop more complex programs. You will be able to use conditional statements with which you will be able to control the flow of your program. You will also understand how to use iterative instructions to launch programs that repeat sets of instructions. Finally, your social network will identify who your friends are and allow you to send them messages.
FUNCTIONS. This module of the “Learning to program with Python” course will give you the tools to develop programs using functions and creating your own. The programs you develop will be clearer and more concise, and your code can be recycled. By executing the proposed exercises, your social network will include a function that will establish whether the person is your friend and should receive messages or not.
STRINGS AND FILES. In our fifth module of the course students will create programs that handle text. They will also be able to create programs that upload data from one file and save the results to another file. These programs will give you the power to use data from different sources. At the end of the course and the module exercises, your social network will be able to send personalized messages to your group of friends.
LISTS. In this last module of our MOOC course you will gain skills to create more sophisticated programs using the concept of lists to organize data. You will be able to manipulate lists and extract information from the data stored in them. Finally, you will have a social network capable of organizing lists of friends and sending them messages.
