The software development course I propose to teach students covers the entire application creation process, from needs analysis to software deployment. Students will learn the fundamentals of programming (variables, conditions, loops, functions), the principles of object-oriented programming, and best practices for code structuring and documentation. They will be introduced to web and/or desktop application development, the use of databases to store and manipulate information, and the use of modern development tools (programming environments, version control, testing). Emphasis will be placed on completing concrete projects to develop both technical skills and the ability to solve real-world problems independently and methodically.
