This is an online class!
Have you ever thought about trying computer programming? Do you need to keep up with your kids? This class is an introduction to fundamental coding concepts and skills. We will use Python, one of the easier languages to learn and also used by major companies. The concepts are easily extended to other programming languages. The class is based on simple projects we will code and we will learn the concepts as we go.
Instructor: Kevin Kopchynski
Wednesday, 6-8 pm
Four classes: July 29; August 5, 12, 19
Watch this orientation video if you are new to Zoom: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
