This course is more about teaching you how to engineer and how a computer actually works than it is about the languages. All computer software engineering follows similar principles and I have 40 years of engineering things from your mobile phone to the aircraft you fly in.
Besides the software you will learn about computers - how they work, the history and background, the uses being made of them (far more than most people think). This background is not just for fun but it is to help understand the whys and whats of what we do.
You will learn about:
security - how to thwart the hackers by doing your code the right way.
security in terms of signing and encryption of data both in the computer and between computers.
safety critical systems like automotive control
data processing
strengths and weaknesses of some languages and approaches
cloud
up and coming trends such as 'codeless' programming and 'artificial intelligence'
web pages and web backends
Informations supplémentaires
A laptop is helpful, if you havent got one then I can help source one, it doesnt have to be special.
An idea of what particular things interest you or that you want to do with software.

Ask about group lessons for schools, colleges and companies
Ask about your location, I can travel further under some circumstances

Présentation
40 years of software engineering from the simplest of computers to the complex multi computer systems in autonomous lorries and fly by wire aircraft, including a surprising amount in your mobile phone. Those pictures you see in old programs like 'The Professionals' of big tape players - I worked with those, that packet of crisps - I probably programmed the machine that packets them.
Not a geek in the sense of thinking computers are wonderful, they are a stunningly useful tool but only when someone has programmed them correctly.

Discussion sessions around history, current affairs or indeed any other subjects you find interesting. Rule is that it will be in English at whatever level you are. Some correction but sympathetically done so that the conversation keeps going.

Different help and study depending on your interests and needs.

If at school this maybe that you need help with homework. It maybe that a subject isnt as exciting as you thought and I can help.

If later in life you may just have an interest, maybe shared with a group, lets create relevant study groups.
