Coding Fundamentals - SSS038

Learn the basics of how to create simple interactive computer programs

If you are interested in coding, this subject will introduce you to the essential concepts and support you to develop the beginning skills. Get ready to explore the basics of computational thinking! We will be focusing on fundamental coding principles, such as understanding sequences, loops, and conditionals, as well as working with variables and basic data structures. You will be supported with interactive activities so that you gain confidence and grow your problem-solving skills. After completion, you may like to progress to SSS039, Coding fundamentals 2.

In this short preparatory subject we’ll cover these aspects of coding:

  • Introduction to Modular Programming Concepts
  • Control Structures including loops and conditions.
  • Variables and data types classification
  • Developing Interactive Programs
