What you'll learn
The Scottish Government has identified an IT skills gap and there is no doubt that both the government and industry welcome Introduction to Programming classes as they open new pathways into becoming a successful software developer.
This module is ideal for learners with no background in programming with coding & IT skills. Learners will gain their first programming experience, predominantly in the Python programming language.
Python is a widely used, relatively easy to learn programming language, which makes the module especially attractive for professionals or career changers, who aspire to become programmers.
At the end of the module, learners will understand basic principles and will have developed basic competence in programming in a modern industry-standard programming language.
