Computer Programming in Python and JavaScript (Intermediate)

Computer Programming in Python and JavaScript (Intermediate)

This course will build up your knowledge of Python and JavaScript with hands-on coding projects that I will build with you step-by-step.

By the end of this course you will have an understanding of the following:

• Data Structures and Collections in Computer Programming – what they are, why they are used, and how they are implemented in Python and JavaScript

• Professional industry code editors PyCharm and Visual Studio Code and the ability to navigate and code in these programs. Code more efficiently and effectively using these FREE tools!

• 2 hands-on projects that you will have created from scratch:

• A Tic Tac Toe application in Python, complete with User Interfaces, User Input Recognition, and Artificial Intelligence code so that a user can play against the computer.

• A Rock-Paper-Scissors application in JavaScript, complete with User Interfaces, User Input Recognition, and Artificial Intelligence code so that a user can play against the computer.

Section 1 of this course is the Course Introduction. We will learn the objectives of the course, download and install PyCharm and Visual Studio Code, and learn the basic navigation of these programs. After this section you will be ready to dive into the rest of the course material.

Section 2 of this course is Collections and Data Structures. In this section we will learn all about data structures, lists, arrays, dictionaries, tuples, and sets. We will learn what each of these is, why and how they are used, and their role in computer programming. By the end of this section you will have a solid understanding of these key programming constructs.

Section 3 is Collections and Data Structures in Python. In this section we will get hands-on exposure learning how the following data structures and collections are used in Python and the different options Python gives us to work with them:

• Data Structures

• Lists

• Dictionaries

• Tuples

• Sets

By the end of Section 3 you will understand these programming constructs and have the ability to work with them in Python.

Section 4 is Collections and Data Structures in JavaScript. In this section we will get hands-on exposure learning how the following data structures and collections are used in JavaScript and the different options JavaScript gives us to work with them:

• Data Structures

• Arrays

• JavaScript Objects

By the end of Section 4 you will understand these programming constructs and have the ability to work with them in JavaScript.

Section 5 is Hands-On Python Programming. We will build our Python skills with a learn-by-doing approach as we develop a Tic Tac Toe application that allows the user to face the computer in a game of Tic Tac Toe. During this section I will walk you step by step through the different phases of building this application from looking at an overview of the project, setting up the UI, coding the user input and core program logic, coding the AI logic, and testing out the finished product. By the end of this section you will have a desktop application you built using Python.

Section 6 is Hands-On JavaScript Programming. We will build our JavaScript skills hands-on by building a Rock-Paper-Scissors web app. In this section of the course we will go through the same steps as we did in the last section for the Tic-Tac-Toe game, but use JavaScript to code a web application. By the end of this section you will have a web app that you developed using JavaScript programming.

Section 7 is the Course Summary and Wrap-Up. This section will review what we learned in the course. By the end of this section you will feel accomplished at all of the hands-on skills you built up in the course.

By the end of this course you will have a solid skill set in both Python and JavaScript programming and hands-on exposure using these languages to build small, fun applications that utilize the skills and concepts taught in this course.
