We will start extremely basic and I'll use language that looks similar to Java. At this point, the language is NOT important, just the concepts. Over the first couple sessions, we'll be on a whiteboard only and will cover some basic procedural concepts such as:
1.) Constants, Variables
2.) Assignment
3.) Functions
4.) Control Structures (loops, branching)
5.) Pass-by reference/value
6.) Pointers
7.) The stack
8.) Recursion
9.) Infinite Loops
10.) Revision Control Concepts
11.) Build Systems
12.) Runtime/Compiletime Errors
13.) Types and Casting
We'll pick up where we left off from Part - 1. By the end of this session, I hope that we will have built up enough of a foundation to begin the third section with object oriented fundamentals.
If you already have something like a CS-101 or equivalent background, this will all be very old news. If you are completely new to programming and you wish to participate in the future portions of this series, you really can't miss the first few classes.
I'm going to Black Forest Brewery in Frankenmuth to order the beer for the room party. If you want to have a say in the beer that I pick, some along. Call me at 810-869-4390 to get details. Times are flexible, BTW, so if that particular time on Sunday doesn't work for you, call me and we'll see what can be changed.
