Are you an aspiring programmer? Or perhaps an analyst, architect, or infrastructure manager? For almost everyone in the IT world, basic programming knowledge is indispensable. During this training, you'll learn to write a simple program and gain insight into the structure of more complex software.

You’ll put the principles into practice: formulating and analyzing a problem, devising a solution, designing and coding a program. This way, you’ll create your own computer programs!

At the end of this training, the participant will:

• have a thorough overview of the different steps in the development of an application;
• be able to analyse a simple problem and identify the basic building blocks of a solution;
• be able to structure a problem solution by means of Program Structure Diagrams;
• be able to implement a problem solution using a 3rd generation language;
• be able to execute, test and adapt a program.

• What does programming mean:
  • overview of the different steps in the application development cycle
  • different programming languages
  • components of a programming language and a programming environment
• Programming:
  • techniques for the determination of programming structures: sequence • selection • iteration
  • working with different types of data
  • Program Structure Diagrams (Nassi-Shneiderman, Flowchart, ...)
  • structured programming
• Exercises:
  • transformation of a problem into program structures or an algorithm
  • coding and testing of limited programmes by means of a 3rd generation language

An interactive, live training —delivered in a physical classroom, online, or in a hybrid format. The course can be delivered in Dutch, English, or French. For exercises, we generally use the Python programming language; for corporate sessions, another language can be chosen.

No specific background is required.

Future programmers or analysts without a specific IT training, but also end-users who want to use the existing software (SAS, word processor, spreadsheet, ...) more efficiently.
