Introduction to Programming

About this course

Take your first steps toward a career as a computer programmer! In this course, you'll learn to use Just BASIC, a free Windows programming language, to create stand-alone applications for professional or personal use.

As you explore the Just BASIC programming language, you'll learn how to work with graphical user interfaces, controls, variables, arrays, conditional logic, and loops. You'll also examine subroutines, functions, and debugging. After that, you'll discover how to add sound and graphics to your programs. To reinforce the concepts from each lesson, you'll create a working computer-game application.

Even if you've never programmed before, you'll find it easy to follow each lesson's step-by-step instructions. By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and confidence you need to program in BASIC and design your own custom applications for home, school, or work.
