In this course, I learned about the basics of programming and an intro to the Python language. I learned about the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), programming flow charts, client expectations, pseudocode, and the different jobs available in the IT industry.

I already knew a couple of languages before going into this course, I wasn’t too much interested in learning about programming, but the basics of programming and how to program the right way. I felt that I learned that and more in this class. It was also nice to learn the Python language and what it’s used for.

This assignment shows off what I have learned in Python.
