- Need of learning programming in this digital era.

- Summary of the article in hints.

Part 1: Introductory aspects of programming

1. What is Programming?

- Definition and significance.

- Paradigms of programming (procedural, object-oriented, functional, etc.).

2. Your First Language

- Assessing various languages (Python, JavaScript, Java etc).

- Criteria to be met in the selection of a language(learning curve, job availability etc)

3. Your development setup

- Available tutorials for DEs(Development Environment) and code editors.

- Presentation of terminal and its functions.

Section 2: Programming In its Basics

4. Simple ideas

- Variables, data types and operators.

- Control devices (if statements, loops).

- Functions and their importance in module programming.

5. Theory of Algorithms and Data Structures

- The role of algorithm in answering specific questions.

- Description of some data structures (array, linked list, stack, queues....)

6. Debugging and Error Handling

- Tools which help in debugging programmers work.

- Dealing with errors.

Section 3: Further Programming Ideas

7. Object Oriented Programming

- Object Oriented Programming concepts based on (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism…

- Practically applying OOP concepts (class/ interface design).

8. Functional Programming

- Basic understanding of functional programming.

- Features of OOP and its use (immutable data, higher order functions).

9. Concurrency and parallelism:

- Comparison of threads and processes.

- Basic elements of concurrent programming (e.g. locks, synchronization constructs).

Section 4: Extending Beyond Web Development

10. Web Development in the broader context

- Explanation of frontend and backend development.

- Basic introduction to HTML, CSS and JavaScript and their multiple aspects.

11. Web Development Tools

- Commonly known available frontend frameworks, (4) React, Angular, Vue.js.

- As for back end the frameworks are (3) Node.js, Django, Flask.

12. DBMS

- Databases are either relational or NoSQL.

- Low level is where SQL and ORM (Object Relational Mapping ) are located and basic level of use is above them.

Section 5: Software Engineering Practices

13. Version Control with Git

– Basics of GIT; Structures and operations; Other features like repositories, branches and commits.

– Team development processes (pull requests, code reviews).

14.Testing and Test Development: Basic Practices

– Software testing as a stage of software engineering.

– The sizzle reel you always wanted for Hot TDD explaining its advantages.

15. Deployment and Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment

– Deployment Pipelines – Conclusion or Introduction.

– Approaches and implementations, management of the actual deployment.
