Procedural Programming in Python with AI Code Generation

Transitioning into software development can feel overwhelming, but modern developers have a powerful ally in AI-driven coding assistants. To use these tools effectively, you must first understand the core logic of procedural programming. This written course guides you through the fundamental building blocks of procedural programming using Python, while showing you how to co-create software with AI. You will transition from a complete beginner to someone who can read, structure, and prompt AI to write clean, functional programs. What you'll learn: Understand core procedural programming principles, including variables, control flow, loops, and functions; Write effective prompts for AI coding assistants to generate accurate Python code; Apply Python type hints and modern clean code practices to structure your programs; Analyze and debug AI-generated code to ensure correctness and efficiency; Build a functional mathematical calculator program step-by-step through guided reading and analysis. The course starts with essential programming terminology and foundational syntax before moving into logic control and function design. You will then explore prompt engineering strategies specifically tailored for generating Python scripts, culminating in a hands-on walk-through of building a factorial calculator. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners with no prior coding experience who want to leverage modern AI tools to learn programming.
