Programming Starter Kit | Coding Mini-Projects — Websites and Applications

From 79 C$ /h

Hello - Servus - Greetings ... Future Silicon Whisperer ...

Welcome to this recreational programming class for absolute beginners (but lifelong learners!) who want to take the first small steps into the domain of coding ... and a giant leap into the realm of software.

But no need to fret. You are in safe hands with me — someone who has being tinkering with the computational engineering sciences for well over a decade, publishing novel research, presenting conference talks, and, of course, tutoring curious minds.

It is always rewarding to see a tutee go from building simple websites to developing complex artificial intelligence applications, often in a few short months, which motivates me to continue delivering and refining this course.

For me, our computers are virtual laboratories in which software can be our digital apparatus. The true power of our electronic devices can be unlocked once we become literate in the languages that a computer can understand. This process can be challenging; but it is ultimately a fruitful endeavour.

But before you dive in, you might have a few questions; here is a preemptive measure to answer the common ones:

- - - - - - - -

{Q} I work in the <x> industry/business. So why should I start programming?
{A} Programming skills are becoming increasingly essential in our modern world. Coding is a contemporary craft — one that can be used to solve technical problems, innovate new technologies or even express artistic ideas. (At the very least code can be used automate boring and repetitive tasks, thereby saving considerable time and money!)

{Q} I am <n> years old. Is it too early/late to start coding?
{A} Start coding whenever you feel comfortable and at your own pace ... and you will quickly realise that age is just an unsigned int. That is to say, no prior knowledge will be assumed in this class, and mature students are more than welcome.

{Q} How are sessions organised?
{A} We will have a video call/meeting in which we share our screens over a one- or two-hour period. There will be lots of typing (mostly on your end) but also custom notes and additional resources will be prepared for you.

{Q} How is the syllabus structured?
{A} As a gentle but comprehensive introduction into software carpentry, a tentative outline would involve a four-part sequence:
- Part[0] = Foundational Programming Mechanics
- Part[1] = Coding Best Practices
- Part[2] = Tools of the Trade
- Part[3] = Software Project Lifecycle

- - - - - - - -

The course can, and will, be tailored around your goals and needs; so do feel free to get in touch to brainstorm something that works for you.

Here is to your continued success.

Extra information

- Please use a computer/laptop with a reliable internet connection as well as video-call/screen-sharing application (e.g. Zoom)
- All other custom notes and additional resources will provided to you for free

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

These courses are part of a structured and progressive training in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with JavaScript, designed for beginner or intermediate developers who want to understand in depth how the language works, write clearer, more maintainable code and prepare themselves calmly for modern frameworks like React ⚛️.

Object-Oriented Programming is often perceived as complex or abstract.

My goal is simple: to make it logical, concrete, and immediately applicable.

Create and manipulate objects in JavaScript in a clean and efficient way
Use ES6 classes, constructors, and methods with confidence
Mastering this, the prototype, and the instantiation logic
Apply encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism without confusion
Avoiding common mistakes made by OOP beginners
Structure your JavaScript code like a professional developer

📖 Training Plan – Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript
1. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming 🧠
Understanding the concept, objectives and benefits of OOP.
2. Procedural Programming vs. OOP
Why unstructured code quickly becomes unmanageable.
3. Objects in JavaScript

19. Assessment Quiz (Multiple Choice Questions)
To validate the actual understanding of the concepts.

🛠️ Teaching method: Understand before writing

This training program is based on a progressive and pragmatic approach:
Clear and illustrated explanations
Concrete examples from real projects
Simple but effective exercises
Constant questioning to avoid rote learning
Adaptation to the learner's level and pace
Here, we don't "recite OOP" — we understand it.

🚀 Learner's result

At the end of the training, you will not only know how to write a JavaScript class.
You will know:

1- Why does it exist?
2- When to use it
3- and when not to use it

You will leave with:
a solid understanding of OOP
a cleaner and more professional code
an ideal foundation for learning React, Node.js or any other modern framework

B- PERSONALIZED TUTORING: LEARNING HOW TO REASON
Machine learning and artificial intelligence become much more accessible when mathematics, algorithms, Python code, data, and real-world applications are clearly connected.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly.

Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan.

The first lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach.

A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps.

You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level.

My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.
