Master the basics of web development communication for entrepreneurs and non-programmers to effectively engage with tech teams and enhance project outcomes.
This course is a fun and straightforward guide for non-programmers to understand web development basics and speak the tech language with their teams. Entrepreneurs and new developers will learn essential concepts to boost their communication skills and confidence in tech projects.
Learn how to speak with developers. Designed for entrepreneurs, businesses, and junior developers.
Are you a creative or entrepreneur that wishes you could speak tech with your web development team? Maybe you wish you could code a bit yourself?
Programming for Non-Programmers is online course designed to help non-programmers communicate more efficiently with developers.
Because leading a development team (without being a developer yourself) can sometimes feels like “talking about dancing”, I've created an interactive and easy to follow environment in which to learn the basics.
And for developers just getting started, think of this as the primer to help kickstart your career.
If you're running a tech start-up, it's essential that you familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of web development. Ultimately knowing how to "talk to the talk" will help you communicate better with developers, and overall just look really cool.
What You'll Learn
In this course we'll tackle some development principles to get you on the right path. We'll look at questions like, "Front-end vs. Back-end?", "Is UX necessary for my project?", "What is this Javascript function thingy, and why am I passing it strange math equations to it?".
What coding languages should I use for my next project?
Which CMS is right for the job?
What are the stages of web development?
What deliverables do I need to provide my developer? (FYI - This is important and often neglected or done poorly)
Reading code & basic developing principles to get us started
Key concepts of programming that are the found in every programming language

"I wish I had taken this class 5 years ago!" - Michael Goodwin, UX Designer

"An INCREDIBLE thank you! So far you're the only one who has been able to teach me how to code." - Darren Hakimi, Analyst
"You are articulate and engaging. Broad and diverse range of topics. Not easy to address so much in limited time." - student feedback
Even for a non tech person like me (who yes, has 50,000 emails in her inbox and actually thinks thats totally normal), I was able to keep up. My intent was to get a good overview of what the heck programming actually is, and better understand the language/terms associated with it. I certainly got that. I also appreciated your passion for teaching. I will absolutely recommend the class to my friends. - Debra-Ellen Glickstein, Entrepreneur

Not for beginners. Lots of terms which I do not know. Information is not up to date. But on the otherside it has lots of useful information.
I do not like the chatty nature of the narration. After every phrase the insertion of the word "right" is grating. Also disappointed in the production value with the volume changing from unit to unit.
Sehr gute Erläuterung der Standardkomponenten speziell in der Erstellung von Webseiten
Could have much better in making understanding the fundaments better. Except for the last session, rest was not upto the expectation
pretty good explanation...it gives a concrete base to get started....thank you Chritopher
very simple but effective
I enjoyed Chris' explanation of the basics of programming. He makes it very easy to understand from the point of view of a beginner or someone that is not familiar with programming. I highly recommend this course to anyone that is curious about web development.
Still going well with the course! I just got a nice sense of what its like to really understand the general time scope and process for getting my application rolled out to MVP.

Very simple but useful orientation for beginners/non-tech folks, but because it was created many years ago it has outdated links and examples. If it was updated I would recommend it to colleagues!
