Computer Programming for Novices

All 21st century learners should strive to attain basic programming skills. No matter what discipline we work in, we would all be better problem solvers and better users of computational tools if we had some facility with computer programming and some understanding of how software is built. In this course – for computer programming novices – we will learn the basics of coding using a variety of tools and languages including Scratch and JavaScript. Each class meeting will include both lecture and hands-on lab time.
