Course Objectives-

This course is meant for students who do not have prior programming experience, or have a light background, and are looking to build a robust foundation for computational thinking. They’ll learn to deconstruct what software applications do, and reason about the essence of computation as transformation of data from one shape to another. Practically, they will be able to set up a development environment, be introduced to HTML & CSS, and learn to program in a functional subset of JavaScript.

By the end of the course, they will build a 2D game that runs on the browser and be able to manipulate the DOM as well as the canvas element and have the ability to create and deploy a basic website to the internet.

Prerequisites –

Students should have access to a computer with a modern OS (Windows 10 or above, Ubuntu 20.04 and above, macOS 10.15 and above).

Students should have computer literacy. It includes skills like the ability to browse the internet and find information, ability to use software applications like word processors and spreadsheets and be comfortable with user-level operating system concepts like CPU, memory, disks, and files and folders.
