Hacker News Comments on
Programming Fundamentals

Coursera · Duke University · 3 HN comments

HN Academy has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention Coursera's "Programming Fundamentals" from Duke University.
Course Description

Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class. This course will introduce you to a powerful problem-solving process—the Seven Steps—which you can use to solve any programming problem. In this course, you will learn how to develop an algorithm, then progress to reading code and understanding how programming concepts relate to algorithms.

If you want them to learn to think about how to develop code, but not a particular language I recommend: https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-fundamentals
A friend found this https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-fundamentals I took the class so I could help her if needed. It is a very good class on how to THINK as a programmer. It does not teach any programming language but is IMHO a perfect intro.
A friend found this class and asked me if it was any good. So I signed up and did the first week. It is wonderful! It teaches how to think about a problem, not language syntax. https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-fundamentals
