What you will learn

Review and apply the fundamentals of programming, including control structures, functions and basic data structures, with practical examples in Python.
Identify and compare different programming paradigms (imperative, functional, object-oriented, declarative and logical), recognising their advantages and limitations in specific contexts.
Implement basic functional logic with immutability, pure functions and recursion, using languages such as JavaScript or Python.
Recognise the typical purposes of major programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, SQL), and justify their use in specific projects.
Understand concepts such as classes, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
Understand and apply software development methodologies, namely agile methods (Scrum and Kanban).
Know modern development tools, such as Git, to ensure code quality and traceability.
Know or identify low-code/no-code platforms, such as Power Apps, OutSystems or AppGyver.
Analyse new programming approaches, including event-driven and reactive programming.

Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the main programming languages, covering topics from the fundamentals to the development of complex solutions. Participants will explore essential concepts, object-oriented programming techniques and how to apply this knowledge to solve real-world problems.

Assessment and certification

At the end of each module, in order to assess your progress, you will take a test with a mandatory knowledge check, which will account for 50% of the final grade.

At the end of the course, you will take a Final Assessment Test, which will account for 50% of the final grade.
