Programming Foundations

Build a strong foundation in programming with hands-on training in Python, C, and an introduction to Java. This course covers essential coding concepts, logic building, and problem-solving skills to prepare you for advanced software development and real-world applications.

Course Modules

Module 1: Programming Basics with C

  • Understanding computer architecture & programming flow
  • Basic structure and terminology and Variables, data types, operators, and expressions
  • Control structures: if, else, switch and Loops: for, while, do-while
  • Functions and modular programming and Basic file handling

Module 2: Structured Programming in C

  • Arrays and strings & Structures and unions
  • Pointers and dynamic memory
  • Advanced file operations
  • Real-world problem solving with C

Module 3: Introduction to Python Programming

  • Python installation and environment setup
  • Syntax, variables, data types & Control structures and loops in Python
  • Functions, modules, and exception handling
  • Input/output and basic file handling

Module 4: Data Structures in Python

  • Lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries and Nested data structures
  • Working with libraries (math, random, datetime, etc.)
  • Introduction to object-oriented programming in Python

Module 5: Intro to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

  • OOP concepts: Classes, objects, inheritance, encapsulation
  • OOP in Python: Class creation and method definitions
  • Constructor/destructor, operator overloading
  • OOP comparison in C and Python
  • Small project: Build a basic management system (e.g., Student Record System)

Module 6: Java Basics (Foundational Overview)

  • Java syntax and setup and Basic data types and control structures
  • Classes and methods in Java
  • Introduction to JVM and bytecode
  • How Java differs from C and Python

Capstone Project

Build a console-based application (e.g., Library Management System) using:

  • Core logic in C or Python (student choice)
  • OOP concepts for structure
  • File handling for data persistence
  • Bonus: Implement basic GUI or Java extension (optional)

Assessment and Certification

Assessments

Includes quizzes, coding tasks, and hands-on labs for each module, with a final capstone project to apply core concepts.

Certification

Participants receive a Certificate of Completion; top performers earn a Certificate of Excellence.
