Overview
Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields.
This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class.
Key facts
This Programming Fundamentals course offered by Coursera in partnership with Duke University will introduce you to a powerful problem-solving process—the Seven Steps—which you can use to solve any programming problem. In this course, you will learn how to develop an algorithm, then progress to reading code and understanding how programming concepts relate to algorithms.
