If you understand these concepts, you can program in any language

Programming to me, at it’s most fundamental level, is you telling the hunk of metal to do something in a logical way. It will do no more, and certainly no less, than what you tell it to do.

  1. Algorithm Thinking: Basic introduction to algorithm design and analysis, focusing on problem-solving and logical thinking.

Every single programming language uses these concepts. This means you only have to learn the syntax for that specific language.

  1. Variables and Data Types: The basics of storing data in variables and the different types of data (like integers, strings, etc.).
  2. Operators: Arithmetic, logical, and comparison operators used for calculations and decision-making.
  3. Conditionals: Using ‘if’, ‘else’, and ‘switch’ statements to execute code based on certain conditions.
  4. Loops: ‘for’, ‘while’, and ‘do-while’ loops for repeating code blocks.
  5. Functions/Methods: Writing reusable code blocks, understanding parameters and return values.
  6. Arrays and Lists: Storing and manipulating a collection of data.
  7. Basic Input/Output: How to take input from the user and display output.
  8. Error Handling: Basic concepts of catching and handling errors.
  9. Commenting and Documentation: Writing clear comments and understanding the importance of documentation.

Next Level

  1. Data Structures: Understanding basic data structures like stacks, queues, linked lists, and trees.
  2. Object-Oriented Concepts: Introduction to objects, classes, and inheritance (in languages that support OOP).
