"The instructors were knowledgeable and had several useful resources to help the material make sense when I became stuck. I think I had a question each day, and each day, they had the tools to help me and made it look easy. I'm looking forward to taking other courses."

We have Intro to Programming courses posted all the way through October!

http://bit.ly/pdx_code

Our Intro to Programming courses has been split up into two sections to help you build a strong foundation in learning how to code!

Programming 101 is a 5-day introductory course to Python; which is a perfect first language for beginners. This class will take you through common data types (string, integer, booleans, and lists) and control flow with conditional statements and loops. You’ll also learn how to use the terminal. At the end of the class, you will be prepped for Programming 102.

Programming 102 builds on top of Programming 101 and takes a deeper dive into programming fundamentals. Students will learn dictionaries, functions, how to troubleshoot error messages, and complete class with a final programming project!

Completion of both courses is a part of the application process for PDX Code Guild.
