In the business world, there are many opportunities for computer programming that do not require a degree in computer science and employers – especially technology-oriented ones – will look favorably on applicants who can tackle those with confidence. We will cover several real-world problems and discuss an appropriate technological solution for each of them. In the process, participants will gain a better understanding of what programming actually entails. Because of time constraints, we will be doing only a small amount of coding, but we will be also looking at a number of resources for further exploration.
