This deCoded course is designed to thrust you into the world of software engineering and computer science. This will cover the concepts necessary to give you a strong foundation in software concepts so that you can write code, to solve problems.
⚒️ Languages/Frameworks
In order to learn the most concepts possible, we will be using a static compiled language as well as a dynamic, interpreted language. The runtimes we will be using for this course are:
- Go
- Python
📚 Prerequisites?
This course is designed to to introduce you to these topics at the ground floor, but it is expected that you know your way around a computer. You should be comfortable typing as well as downloading and installing applications.
