Programming Foundations
Build strong language-independent reasoning.
- Types and control flow
- Functions and modularity
- Data structures
- Error handling
- Testing and debugging
Develop programming skill with an engineering focus: data structures, memory, concurrency, networking, APIs, debugging and system-level behavior.
The exact sequence is adjusted to the audience. Foundation topics can be compressed for experienced teams; architecture and troubleshooting can be expanded for advanced programs.
Build strong language-independent reasoning.
Use Python for automation and services.
Understand how software maps to memory and the OS.
Explore memory safety and modern systems programming.
Build software that communicates and runs work concurrently.
Connect code to operation.
Exercises emphasize observation, implementation, failure and diagnosis rather than command copying.
Build a Python API / automation utility
Implement TCP client/server communication
Debug a pointer / memory bug
Build a concurrent worker
Compare C/C++ and Rust safety models
Language depth and lab environment can be selected around Python, C, C++, Rust, Go or mixed systems-programming requirements.
