Introducción a la programación con C++, parte 1. SP

Course Objective 
This course is an introduction to the problem-solving and programming methodologies that are fundamental to the study of computer science. Students gain considerable experience with fundamental language constructs and types, such as expressions, decisions, iteration, functions, structures, and strings. 

This course (and those to follow in the sequence) is modeled after a college-level class taught by this instructor but is accessible to students who have never programmed before. This is an excellent course for a student exploring the possibility of becoming a programmer or software engineer, or possibly pursuing a college degree in a Computer Science field.

As this is a self-paced class, a video and slide deck will be posted each week. Students can watch the video and use the accompanying slide deck as their own pace. At the end of each lesson is a programming project for students to work on. These projects are designed to give students practicing using the techniques covered in that lesson. 

Students are encouraged to reach out to the instructor with any questions they have about the lesson material or the project. The instructor will typically respond within 24 hours. Students are also encouraged to submit their project code, which the instructor will make comments on and suggest improvements, if needed. The project will be discussed at the beginning of each next lesson video.

If students focus on one lesson and programming project a week, it should take them 7 weeks to complete the course.


This course will cover the following topics: 
•	Programming Introduction 
•	Selection Statements 
•	Mathematical Functions, Characters, Strings 
•	Loops 
The next sequence in this course will continue the study of loops and add in:
•	Methods 
•	Single and Multi-Dimensional Arrays 
•	Objects and Classes
