There are 6 modules in this course

In this module, you will explore the core principles of front-end development and the role of front-end engineers. You'll learn essential tasks, skills, and project planning steps, including the use of Git and GitHub for version control. By the end, you will create a simple project plan and a version control repository on GitHub, applying your knowledge to practical scenarios.

In this module, you will learn the foundations of logical thinking and its importance in programming. You'll explore how to apply deductive reasoning, break down complex problems, and use both top-down and bottom-up strategies to find solutions. By the end, you'll write pseudocode to tackle simple problem-solving scenarios, applying structured logical processes to real-world challenges.

In this module, you will explore the structure of algorithms, including if/then statements, categorical logic, and binary operations. You'll learn how to use flowcharts to visualize logical steps and identify different data types like integers, floats, and booleans. By the end, you'll be able to declare variables and implement a simple algorithm in C# to solve basic problems.

In this module, you will learn about basic control structures like if-else statements and switch cases, and how they are used to make decisions in programs. You'll explore different types of loops, such as for, while, and do-while, and understand their role in handling repetitive tasks. By the end, you'll write simple programs combining control structures and loops to solve practical coding challenges.

In this module, you will explore how to use functions to create reusable code blocks and learn the basics of methods in C#, including their definition, syntax, and use cases. You'll practice calling methods and passing data through parameters. By the end, you'll develop simple programs that use functions and methods to efficiently solve problems.

In this module, you will apply key coding concepts such as variables, data types, control structures, loops, and methods through hands-on activities. You’ll practice debugging code to identify and fix logical errors, with support from Microsoft Copilot for enhanced error detection. By the end, you’ll develop a comprehensive code project incorporating essential elements like if/else statements, loops, functions, and variables.
