The short course on “Programming: C, Python and Java” offered by the African Centre of Excellence aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of programming concepts and techniques using the C, Python, and Java programming languages. The course covers topics such as data types, variables, control structures, functions, arrays, classes, and objects. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on programming exercises, and real-world case studies, students will learn how to write, debug, and test programs in these three widely used programming languages. By the end of the course, students will have developed proficiency in writing programs in C, Python, and Java, and will have gained a solid understanding of how programming languages work and how they can be applied to solve real-world problems. The course is designed for beginners and intermediate level programmers who want to acquire programming skills and knowledge that are in high demand in various industries such as software development, data science, and artificial intelligence.
