Programming Basics Courses

Programming basics courses can help you learn fundamental concepts like variables, control structures, data types, and functions. You can build skills in problem-solving, debugging, and writing clean, efficient code. Many courses introduce tools such as Git for version control, integrated development environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio Code, and programming languages like Python or JavaScript, which are commonly used in web development and software engineering.
