2. Computer Science Principals

Program or code runs on a computer and uses CPU,RAM, input/output devices. This khan academy course goes over all these basic principals of computer science. Data is stored as bits (1s and 0s) in RAM and disk. The course will also go over fundamentals of binary numbers. In this course only follow first 4 sections (1) Digital Information (2) The Internet (3) Programming (4) Algorithms Completing remaining sections is optional and do it if you have time and interest.

Week 3 & 4

3. Choose Career Track

Being programmer is like being a doctor where there are many different specializations. Doctor can be a heart specialist, a lung doctor or a general physician. Similarly you can become a web programmer, mobile app developer or backend developer. Here I have outlined few popular career tracks along with programming languages required for that particular career track,

1. Web Development
   1. HTML/CSS/Javascript - Holy trinity of web programming
   2. Frameworks: node js, react js, vue js etc
2. Mobile App Development
   1. HTML/CSS/Javascript
   2. Native Apps
      1. IOS: Swift programming language
      2. Android: JAVA
   3. Hybrid Apps
      1. React Native
      2. Flutter
3. Data Science, Machine Learning, Backend Development
   1. Python
   2. JAVA

4. Level 1 Coding Tutorials

At this stage you are ready to write your first program and explore coding tutorials. The idea is to get basic understanding of programming such as variables, data types, file operation, writing static web pages etc. Below is information on courses based on career track,

4.1. Web and mobile app development

Here are the links of html/css courses. For codecademy you can create free account and get access of 180 hr of content per month. All courses listed below are free.

4.2. Data Science, machine learning, backend development

Week 5 & 6

5. Debugging skills

All right, at this stage now you have practiced some basic programming. It is time now to develop debuggin skills. You can not become a good programmer without sound debugging skills, period. Especially in the early stage you will run a program and it won't give expected output and you will be wondering what's going on. At this point, debugging skills will save you. You can step through the code and find out the exact problem with your program. I've 3 part tutorial series on debugging skills using pycharm code editor but these concepts are applicable in any code editor (or IDE: Integrated Development Environment).

6. Data Structures

There is not a single programming interview where they don't ask about data structures. Data structures are fundamental building blocks of any program (doesn't matter which programming language). Follow this playlist to get your data structure concepts clear.

Week 7 & 8

7. SQL Basics

Doesn't matter which career track you choose, you need to have good understanding of relational databases and SQL (structured query language). Here are some course links for SQL.

For kudavenkat playlist above, if you are interested in going little more deeper into SQL then you can watch tutorials beyond # 12.

Week 9 & 10

8. Level 2 Coding Tutorials

At this stage, now you know some basic coding, data structures, SQL etc. You can now go through intermediate coding tutorials. Here are some online resources for the same,

8.1 Web and mobile app development

Interactive weg pages: https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css-js JQuery: https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-js-jquery

Week 11 & 12

9. Algorithms

Algorithms are applicable to any programming language. Understanding algorithms will help you evaluate inner working of your program, performance measurement using Big O complexity etc.

10. Projects

Throughout your journey of step 1 to 11, you need to adhere to a principal of project based learning Which means have a project and then learn each of the skills required to finish that project step by step. Once you finished one project move onto another. As you work on more projects you will learn new skills and become better and better at programming
