Unit 1: What Is Programming & Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC)
Welcome to coding! Learning to program starts with computational thinking. Discover how professional developers plan, write, debug, and document software using the Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC).
Learning goals
- I can explain the stages of the Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC).
- I can differentiate between high-level and low-level programming languages.
- I can set up and navigate an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to run code.
