How to start in Programming Basics and Databases

This path is for anyone who wants to enter programming and databases from scratch with no prior experience. It starts by understanding the field and choosing a language, then learning a first language, then working with data, and ends with organizing code and analyzing algorithms.

  1. 1

    Why here: It introduces the field and helps you choose the right language before committing to a specific one.

    After it you can: You can use programming tools in practice, write and organize code, and understand how to test it.

  2. 2

    Why here: You apply what you understood to a beginner-friendly first language, Python, so you get used to actually writing programs.

    After it you can: You understand the core programming concepts, write simple programs, and develop small projects in Python.

  3. 3

    Why here: Once you have a programming foundation, you move on to how data is stored and handled.

    After it you can: You can run basic SQL queries and manage databases and user permissions.

  4. 4

    Git/GitHub

    Beginner

    Why here: It comes here because your projects are growing, and you need to save your code and track its changes.

    After it you can: You manage your project with version control, work with branches, upload projects to GitHub, and collaborate with others.

  5. 5

    Clean Code

    Intermediate

    Why here: After writing real programs, you learn how to make your code organized and easy to maintain.

    After it you can: You write clean code that follows programming standards, document it, and avoid errors caused by repetition and poor organization.

  6. 6

    Algorithms

    Intermediate

    Why here: It is the deepest step in the path and requires earlier programming experience to analyze the performance of solutions.

    After it you can: You write efficient algorithms, analyze their performance, and apply them to practical problems.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior programming experience?
No. The path starts with the course "How to Start Programming?", which is for beginners, followed by "Python Programming - Core Tasks", which teaches programming from scratch.
If I already have some programming foundation, where do I start?
If you already write code, start from "Database Fundamentals", then continue with the rest of the path as needed.
What can I do at the end of the path?
You can write organized programs, manage databases with SQL, and manage your project through GitHub. The "Algorithms" course teaches you to write efficient algorithms and analyze their performance.
