Why learn to program?
How does programming help?
You can handle little problems yourself When you hire someone you have some idea of what she is doing. You have some idea of what is possible possible. A good programmer has lots of job options (you’ll need more than this one class, though)
Understand computers Computers are used in almost every career The programs you have are never exactly what you want want. The data you have is almost never in the format you want.
Example of What You’ll Know
One program last year. Get data on p p population, , foreclosures and display it by California county.

It teaches you to think!
The computer is your genie in a bottle It does exactly what you tell it to Your job is figuring out what to tell it Learning the language is the easy part; learning to give exact directions is the hard part. Imagine telling a Martian how to tie their shoes….
Other options
ECS 15 – More conceptual overview. Understanding how computers and the internet work, a little programming. ECS 30 – More intensive class for those with some programming experience (Basic?). Learn C. Required for ECS majors.
