Welcome to the world of programming! Learn the skills that all programmers use, whether they build apps, web pages, or analyze data.
Overview
Syllabus
- Welcome and Orientation
- Welcome to the Introduction to Programming Nanodegree program. This is your first step on your journey to become a programmer. Learn what this program is all about as well as how to find support along your learning journey.
- Introduction to Web Development
- Get acquainted with how the web works! Learn about your browser, the internet, and a filetype called HTML. HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language." HTML is the language used to create webpages. Learn the basics of HTML to create a simple web page!
- Introduction to Programming with Python I
- Learn basic programming with Python, one of the most versatile and widely used programming languages! You'll first learn core programming concepts and fundamental Python syntax by writing code to make a virtual "turtle" robot draw colorful shapes on the screen. You'll then learn how to write Python functions, run Python from a Command-Line Interface (CLI), manipulate strings and lists, and refactor your code to improve its structure and make it more modular.
- Introduction to Programming with Python II
- Continue to advance your skills as a beginning programmer! Python is one of the most versatile and widely used programming languages. In this second-level course, you will build on your understanding of fundamental Python and learn some more advanced skills, including how to work with files on your computer's disk and how to use Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to create classes, objects, and methods.
- Introduction to Javascript
- In this course, you will use learn the basics of JavaScript! You will learn how to create and use the primary data types in JavaScript and how to use conditionals and loops to control the flow of your JavaScript code. You'll write your first JavaScript functions and you'll learn how to use arrays and objects to store collections of data. By the end of the course, you use your new JavaScript knowledge to build the core functionality of an eCommerce shopping cart.
- Congratulations! What's next?
- Great work finishing the program! Here's some info on next steps in your programming journey.
- Git and GitHub

It has been a great learning experience. The video illustrations and detailed explanations have been of great help. I recommend this program for anyone willing to develop their technical skills. The program has matched my expectation of understanding basic html elements and semantic tags as well as the rudiments of CSS. There's still so much more to learn. I look forward to gaining much more. Cheers.

So far so good! Learning a lot, and I like the way they have you trying out bits of code often, it helps re-enforce what you've learned and gets you familiar with the syntax and helps solidify larger concepts. I have prior experience with HTML, so that part was more of a review for me, but I had no experience with CSS, and now I feel like I know both equally well!

This has been a terrific program so far, everything is explained exceptionally well without bogging my mind down with over-complicated terms and phrases. The lessons are direct and to the point while also ensuring that you are applying the information given. This isn't my first HTML/CSS course but it's the only one that hasn't allowed me to give up.
