课程概述

The basis for education in the last millennium was “reading, writing, and arithmetic;” now it is reading, writing, and computing. Learning to program is an essential part of the education of every student, not just in the sciences and engineering, but in the arts, social sciences, and humanities, as well. Beyond direct applications, it is the first step in understanding the nature of computer science’s undeniable impact on the modern world. This course covers the first half of our book Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (the second half is covered in our Coursera course Computer Science: Algorithms, Theory, and Machines). Our intent is to teach programming to those who need or want to learn it, in a scientific context. We begin by introducing basic programming elements such as variables, conditionals, loops, arrays, and I/O. Next, we turn to functions, introducing key concepts such as recursion, modular programming, and code reuse. Then, we present a modern introduction to object-oriented programming. We use the Java programming language and teach basic skills for computational problem solving that are applicable in many modern computing environments. Proficiency in Java is a goal, but we focus on fundamental concepts in programming, not Java per se. All the features of this course are available for free. People who are interested in digging deeper into the content may wish to obtain the textbook Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (upon which the course is based) or to visit the website introcs.cs.princeton.edu for a wealth of additional material. This course does not offer a certificate upon completion....

This was a very great course to learn a powerful programming language, techniques used. This has changed my life for better and am looking forward to a career change into the programming world.

Can't wait to get into the second part of the course. The best programming course ever provided for free of cost. The techniques used are backed by mathematical thinking. It is just awesome.

It's okay as a course - no handholding, and not self-contained. But it gave me the motivation to experiment with Java and learn the basics of how to implement it, which is a big plus. The lectures can be a bit dry and hand-wavey, but really shine at moments when talking about algorithms in nature, and mathematical patterns in art, biology, and history. I really love the vast library of java exercises provided, as I have often felt the biggest barrier to learning programming is not having an idea of what I want a program to do.

I thought this was supposed to be a beginners course??? But overall, it was clear. However, I have 0 coding knowledge so I could never pass the first project.

Very helpful for beginners trying to get a grip on programming.

Although, you really need to know mathematical jargon in order to understand the explanations.

Poorly worded quizzes and assignments that include concepts that haven't been taught yet. This course isn't hard, it's sloppily and lazily put together and needs an editor to review the quizzes and assignments. It's free, at least, which is more than it's worth.

I typed program of hello world but it shows we do not have test for correctness...... If you do not have test then what I can do ? It has weightage of 90 % in assignment I have to quit just because of this

This is the most confusing course of my life I have re watched the videos at least 5 times and I can't understand this if anyone has advice I would really apricate it

I couldn't follow this. It didn't keep my attention long enough for me to understand it.
