Coding: Text Programming Foundations

Move from blocks to real typed code. Write Python that stores data in variables, makes decisions, repeats work with loops, organises code into functions and lists, and learn what actually happens when you open a web page.

What you'll learn

  • Store and update data using variables and read code that changes their values
  • Make a program choose between paths using if / elif / else conditionals
  • Repeat work automatically with for and while loops
  • Package reusable steps into functions that take inputs and return a result
  • Store many values in a Python list and process them one by one
  • Explain how a browser, DNS and a web server cooperate to load a page

Before you start

  • Comfortable using block-based coding (e.g. Scratch) to sequence instructions
  • Able to do basic arithmetic and follow step-by-step instructions
  • Can type accurately and save/open files on a computer
