Infinite Skills' "Introduction to Programming Tutorial" Teaches Basic Programming Concepts for Beginning Coders or Non-Programmers Needing to Learn Essential Terminology
(PRWEB) October 17, 2014 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week released its "Introduction to Programming Tutorial," a brief course designed for those interested in beginning programming or who need to communicate on the job with programming professionals. The course does not teach programming, but introduces key terminology, concepts, and theory involved in programming practice.
The course provides an overview of programming from the standpoint of computing in general, and continues into technical terminology, basic development processes, and broader theory such as object-oriented programming and the difference between procedural and functional programming.
Infinite Skills' "Introduction to Programming Tutorial," is designed to be of use to anyone interested in learning about programming, whether on a path to learning to program, or in work places or other situations where interacting and understanding programming jargon is critical.

Course author Brian Gorman has twelve years of experience in programming and five as an online instructor. He has taught courses in algorithms and design patterns, SQL, Bootstrap, HTML, and more. He holds a master's in computer information systems and is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer.
Gorman begins with an overview of computing and the place of programming within the computing field, including an introduction to IDEs and interpreted versus complied programming languages.
The course then covers essential technical terms of programming, including application and solution, syntax, statements, object type, functions and procedures, and much more.
Next, Gorman explains concepts involved in the development process, such as creating, building, running, and deploying a solution, error and exception handling, basic input-output, and other key areas.
Finally, the course explains theoretical differences in approaches to coding such as the difference between procedural and functional programming, object-oriented language, pseudocode, data structures, and more.
"This course is designed to discuss in an abstract way concepts terms and concepts inside programming," Gorman says. "It assumes no knowledge of programming, and we won't be doing any actual coding. I will be showing how concepts such as loops function, but we won't be covering how to write a loop, for instance."
"The course is designed for people who would like to start out in programming and learn basic concepts, or for non-programmers who need to communicate with programmers on the job."
