12 Weekend Coding projects for beginners from scratch

Programming languages are the building blocks for communicating instructions to machines, without them the technology driven world we live in today wouldn’t exist. Programming can be fun as well as challenging.

  In this beginners course we will be learning to code using four very popular and high in demand programming languages:

• Java

• Python

• JavaScript

• C#

Java is a general purpose high-level, object-oriented programming language. Java is one of the most commonly used languages for developing  and delivering content on the web. An estimated nine million  Java developers use it and more than three billion mobile phones run it.  Java is an object-oriented language, which means that programmers 
define not only the data type of a data structure, but also the  types of functions that can be applied to the data structure.

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. 

JavaScript is a programming language for the web. It is supported by most web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, internet Explorer, Edge, Opera, etc. Most mobile browsers for smart phones support JavaScript too.

C# is an elegant and type-safe object-oriented language that enables developers to build a variety of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET Framework. You can use C# to create Windows client applications, XML Web services, distributed components, client-server applications, database applications, and much, much more.
