Description
I am a self-taught programmer. After a year of
self-study, I learned to program well enough to land a job as a software
engineer II at eBay. Once I got there, I realized I was severely
under-prepared. I was overwhelmed by the amount of things I needed to
know but hadn't learned yet. My journey learning to program, and my experience
at my first job as a software engineer were the inspiration for this
course.
This course is not just
about learning to program; although you will learn to code. If you want to
program professionally, it is not enough to learn to code; that is why, in
addition to helping you learn to program, I also cover the rest of the things
you need to know to program professionally that classes and books don't teach
you. The Self-taught Programmer is a roadmap, a guide to take you from writing
your first Python program, to passing your first technical interview. I divided
the course into five sections:
1. Learn to program in
Python 3 and build your first program.
2. Learn Object-oriented
programming and create a powerful Python program to get you hooked.
3. Learn to use tools like
Git, Bash, regular expressions and databases. Then use your new coding skills
to build a web scraper.
4. Study Computer Science
fundamentals like data structures and algorithms.
5. Finish with tips for
working with a team and landing a programming job.
You CAN learn to program
professionally. The path is there. Will you take it?
Who this
course is for:
- New programmers.
- Anyone that wants to learn how to go from a complete beginner to a software engineer.
- Anyone that wants to learn to program to improve their career!
