Master pseudocode and flowcharting to streamline your programming skills. Ideal for beginners and those new to programming concepts.
This course is your starting point into the programming world, focusing on pseudocode and flow charts as essential tools. It’s all about simplifying and visualizing code tasks, perfect for newbies or those looking to sharpen their skills!
Learn the 2 most important skills in a programmer's tool box. Simplify your learning curve for any programming language.This is a great place to start your programming career or hobby. This course is best for you:
........If you have never programmed before, or
........If you are fairly new to programming, or
........If you can program, but are not familiar with flowcharting and pseudocode techniques.This is a generic course, meaning you will not write source code in any specific programming language. You will learn to use pseudocode and flow charts, two major tools that all programmers can use in any programming language. Pseudocode is simple. You just write out the steps to be taken to perform any task, no matter how big or small. Flow charts do essentially the same thing using software that creates a visual chart showing accurately the flow of the process and the specific steps needed to accomplish your goal. Specific shapes are used to represent the type of action to be taken. It won’t be long before you become proficient at using both of these great programmer’s tools. (Flowcharting software is NOT required for this class. If you have Microsoft PowerPoint or Visio, you can use either of those. If not, your instructor will recommend a number of FREE and affordable software applications.)
Teaching methods: Expect to see mostly 10 to 20 minute video sessions where the instructor presents the topic in a slide show format. Later in the course, there will be Exercises for you to do, with answers supplied. Several handouts will be provided to supplement the lectures. The instructor will answer all of your questions promptly (usually within 24 hours.)
This course requires no prerequisite knowledge. Everything is explained in simple, easy to follow steps. In a very short time, you will be able to take a programming situation and reduce it to a series of steps that can be transferred to any programming language. Whether you are learning one of the top 10 languages, like Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, C, C++, C# Visual Basic, Perl, or Lua, or one of the obscure entries on the more than 650 languages listed in Wikipedia's "List of Programming Languages", the skills you learn here will be valuable to you.
This course is taught by Richard Vannoy, a professional programmer and college programming instructor for over 25 years.
In this course, you will learn to effectively use the two major computer programming tools, pseudocode (Sue-dough-code) and Flow Charts. The student will be able to start with a programming task or problem, break it down into its parts and accurately present the solution in either flow chart or pseudocode format.

Awesome
GREAT PIECE OF TOOL . I am learning a lot. I am getting the knowledge that I need to built my PROJECT. Thank you so much Dr. Vanoy II.
A good course recommend it, especially should you be beginning your programming journey.
Easily understandable
I learned a lot. I clearly understood pseudocode and flowchart concept. Thank you very much. It would be great if you can update the course videos cause they are older than 10 years.
Great information and easy to understand
I am half way through the course and thoroughly enjoying it! The lessons have been clear with summaries and quiz's that help to consolidate the learning.
Pretty good course
The course is excellent and especially good for people who is just getting started with programming I highly recommended it.
