Programming Basics - by Robert Ciesla (Paperback)

About the Book

Knowing the basics of coding is beneficial for those working close to, but not quite as one of, the programmers in a team of software developers. Many people working in the audiovisual fields in the gaming/ media industry would benefit from learning more of the programmers' points of view. The same applies to software testers and even company executives, who might have an education in business instead of computer science. What you'll learn: think and read code-listings like a programmer; gain a basic understanding of three popular programming languages, namely C#, Java, and Python; study the basics of Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams; communicate more efficiently with programmers of all experience levels in a work-based environment; discover the core concepts related to the object-oriented programming (OOP); and examine how to set up your programming environments for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
