Introduction
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming, which is the foundation of Computer Science. It is specifically designed for students with no prior programming experience, and touches upon a variety of fundamental topics. This course uses C++ to demonstrate those topics.
C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language.
By the end of the course, you will understand the basics of computer science and C++ programming language and you will be qualified for the more advanced programming courses like Data Structures and Algorithms.
Prerequisites
Introduction to Computer Programming does not assume any prior programming experience and will be paced accordingly. Three years of high school mathematics or equivalent are preferred.

Q: What will I learn from this course?
A: You will learn the fundamentals of computer science and programming using C++
programming language.
Q: Why will we use C++ programming language in the course?
A:
- C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages.
- C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and embedded systems.
- C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.
- C++ is portable and can be used to develop applications that can be adapted to multiple platforms.
- C++ is fun and easy to learn!
- As C++ is close to C# and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to C++ or vice versa.
Q: What is the next step after finishing the course?
A: After finishing the course you will be qualified to other programming courses such as :
- Data Structures and Algorithms
- Competitive Programming I
- Competitive Programming II
