ILP Participation - Programming Foundations : Fundamentals

The course began with an introduction and then segued into a quick quiz to test our prior knowledge. At this point the course began for real. An in-depth discussion of what, exactly, programming is followed before we learned the specifics of JavaScript. Following this, was a lesson on the use of different basics of programming. Then there were lessons on the different types of coding (conditional and modular) and different coding arrangements. The lesson ended with a segment on debugging before going into an overview of some more advanced topics and the different types of coding "languages". 
My learning experience was very good and I enjoyed this. I had some very minor experience in coding before from a previous class so it was interesting to learn more. The speaker was very clear and easy to follow as well. I look forward to using these lessons to enhance my experience using different websites in my personal life as well since this lesson will allow me to use the more advanced options with them.
