You’ll learn about different kinds of development, including mobile, web-based and desktop. You’ll explore common applications and tools, and see why there are so many different programming languages. And, you'll see how programming is done in the “real world”, exploring the benefits of programming libraries, testing frameworks, source control, SDKs and APIs.
